The idea of using an EV for backup power is eminently sensible. A 50/60Hz,
100/120/240v (depending on where the car is sold) inverter operating from
the traction battery should be a factory option on every EV, IMO.
Agreed!
I can't cite a reference right now but I have read that a Model 3 tear
down has revealed that the power electronics includes a gridtie and
microgrid inverter.
So far, Tesla has resisted use of their cars for V2G and V2H. But, it
appears they are prepared to make the jump. Very likely through nothing
more than a software update. I envision/hope it will go like this:
1) Pay a fee, perhaps ~$2k
2) Receive and install an update and follow instruction:
3) Poke some icons on the display
4) Plug into your 10kw-20kw Wall Connector as if to charge
5) Switch off your main breaker
6) Car confirms no grid and starts a micro grid.
7) Enjoy 10kw-20kw of backup power.
Then, people like me who mess with trying to access the battery via the
DC-DC will appear foolish.
