@junkerzn73122 жыл бұрын
From the specs just googling around, this V2L can push around 1.9kW @ 120VAC. So... its not really V2G. But I suppose it could be considered reasonably useful verses e.g. a solar generator, simply due to the size of the battery in the IONIQ 5. 70kW of available battery equals approximately 35 hours of continuous use at 2kW. But there are a number of problems here when we begin talking about power outages. 1.9kW would not have been enough for something like the Texas freeze, and the vehicle is stuck there powering the house so being able to recharge it would require disconnecting. This is generally why most people with this concern are going to get something like a Tesla power wall and not just depend on their vehicle. The vehicle could still be used to charge the power wall, but with the advantage of not being stuck sitting at the home when you might need it for transportation during the emergency. The real V2G is a bit different. And here we aren't talking about the F150 lightning's generator feature (which can power a house through a transfer switch via its 240VAC output). The real V2G is basically just making the battery's raw voltage available at the port and then having an in-garage inverter that it plugs into along with the transfer switch. Then the vehicle could power the entire house and pushing really significant amounts of power if necessary, even upwards of 50kW. Even higher... limited only by the garage-mounted inverter. Utility V2G is designed only for occasional use. Some utilities have pilot programs for this, where they contract for up to N days (usually 10 days or so) of 'peak shaving' or other emergency operation. Definitely NOT daily cycling, which NMC/NCA based EV batteries cannot do without wearing out fairly quickly. However, a LiFePO4 (LFP) battery such as that found in the model 3, could potentially be used for daily cycling, load shifting, and full off-grid operation in an emergency. Tesla (well, Musk anyway) thinks its a bit of a waste though and would prefer people have dedicated whole-home battery systems for that sort of thing, since the inverter portion of the battery system is half the cost of the system you don't gain much by depending on only V2G for emergencies. So for a true emergency where you don't have any in-garage support, I think the F150 lightning has the more appropriate solution. The 1.9kW the IONIQ can supply is good for your fridge and maybe a few lights and not much else. Or during a freeze, one electric heater and a few LED lights (and no fridge because the inductive motor start would trip the system if the heater is running). One electric heater might not be enough. -Matt
@ChrisdyMD2 жыл бұрын
In the UK, we get 240v, 16A out of the V2L adapter. I have a 16A socket from the car port to an isolator switch connected to the main fusebox. That means in the event of a power cut I can isolate the grid and power any devices in my home without the need for any daisy chained adapters. I can power all my lights (all LED), both my fridges and freezers, my router, gas heating system (it requires power for the controller, pumps and ignition system), TV, microwave, and a low power electric kettle (800W). It can be left connected all night, when just lighting, fridges, etc, and the heating system may be on. If the car was charged to 100%, it could power the house for 2-3 days and still leave 20% charge on the car. Fortunately power cuts here in UK tend not to last that long, but it’s nice to know it could cope in that event. Only thing you have to aware of is the initial power surge when some items are turned on initially after a power cut, so the circuit fuses for the sockets have to be switched off when you switch over to the car power, then turned back on one at a time. Still beats sitting in the cold and dark……

You're not getting gas out of a gas station unless you're driving outside of the area affected by the outage (unless you're siphoning). PHEVs are great for people who keep the car running hot the whole day (taxis). For everybody else the cold restarts dump tons more particulates into the air. No point reducing CO2 emissions if you're dying from lung cancer or COPD. F1 makes a good emergency vehicle. Otherwise planning for rare outlier events meets law of diminishing returns at some point. A home generator would be more efficient.
