Dave Jones Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 looking at chopping in the runaround for an id3 as the Scalextric car market is on its arse at the moment so deals to be had. I see the VW ID platform supports vehicle to home turning the car into a massive house reserve. With 11.5kw possible via a wallbox2 car charger on single phase, the arbitrage possibilities on octopus agile would be very attractive especially come winter and more freqent negative energy costs. Anyone gone down this rabbit hole yet ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andehh Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 It's the future! Expect this to become more common in future, smart grids with micostorage and intelligent control of devices buffering erratic renewables. Automotive batteries are also very over engineered from a degradation point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S2D2 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Quasar 2 has been "coming soon" for years. The batteries are perfect for it, the main blocker is the cost of the bidirectional charger due to the lack of demand/competition. Once they come down to hybrid inverter prices it will be viable. DNO view the bidirectional charger the same as any other generating inverter I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Wallbox products are grid connected but maybe you've seen something that isolates the house from the grid??
