1. It does. The only issue is that the car can only output about 2kW sustained (this is a model limitation). That's fine since I have batteries in the house.

2. Tbh not super familiar with V2G/V2H, other than it being super expensive for both the wall box and the car (only high end models tend to support it)/

3. No idea, but it's not a high end feature, I wouldn't count on any inverter to just have it, but if you're looking to buy one that does, I don't think you'll be breaking the bank.

Imo the future is for solar inverters to offer a dedicated DC car charger port, as once again all the hardware is already in there.



Thanks for the answers. I used to work for a EV smart charging company (Kaluza) that ran a V2G trial. V2G was financial success for the users, but I always thought the wall box was a potential blocker. I don't think the 2kW output is a big issue as the customer could still reduce there load when required, but the elimination of a wall box makes onboarding much easier.

As long as the inverter can also provide charging this definitely has some potential.
