I agree that V2G would only be a selling point if your power company is going to pay you a significant sum to make it available.
However, most of this thread has been discussing V2H, V2B and/or V2X rather than V2G As far as I know, the only EVs that currently support V2G are those with Chadmo connections and then only if you have a EVSE that supports it. Most, if not all, of the upcomig EV pickups will support non-gridtied V2X, and several other EVs also will support it using onboard 120V/240V inverters. Lots of other folks have even created DIY backup power by connecting 12V inverters to an EVs 12V aux battery and then using the vehicles DC-DC to pull power from the main pack.

In other words you can power the grid with the batteries in your vehicle. I don’t see the attraction.
