July 21, 20242 yr 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 ?
July 21, 20242 yr 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.

July 25, 20242 yr 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.

July 28, 20242 yr Author same method as we use to stop next door sucking on our solar. flux megajoule 4.

I think the Wallbox products are grid connected but maybe you've seen something that isolates the house from the grid?? Edited July 28, 20242 yr by Dillsue
