"While the abrupt end to your home chef experience is inconvenient, the bigger issue is that your gas furnace still needs electricity to run, and it's supposed to drop into the 20s overnight. Now imagine that while everyone else is rifling through their junk drawer for flashlights and batteries,"
"Despite the interest, there is some murkiness among homeowners about what genuinely constitutes V2H versus other bidirectional charging capabilities. While a majority of EVs on the market today do have the ability to send battery power in the other direction, and in a more substantial way than just a USB charging port for a smartphone, only a smaller (albeit growing) subset boasts true V2H capability -- more on this shortly."
Vehicle-to-home (V2H) enables an electric vehicle to both draw power from the grid and deliver power to a home's electrical panel for backup and daily use. Many homeowners are unfamiliar with V2H, yet interest rises once the capability is understood. A majority of EVs can send battery power outward, but only a subset supports true V2H integration with a home panel. Current bidirectional charging users often treat EVs as portable batteries for backup. Reported consumer metrics include regular bidirectional use by many owners and strong openness among prospective buyers to invest in V2H.
