| Or they could use EVs. Require cars to have V2X (Vehicle to Grid, Vehicle to Load) feature. EV batteries are humongous. |

| Nah, people want to wake up in the morning and know they can drive somewhere. Requiring it is crazy. |

| As a consumer, would you want the extra usage on your battery? Those extra cycles have to cause some additional degradation to the system, but I do not know how much. |

Because these batteries are rated to last at least 10 years either way. And by that time, the cost of replacement will be dramatically cheaper. | | |

| ▲ | 0cf8612b2e1e 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | Net metering rates are pretty poor, so I would guess not much outside of extreme grid instability. Although, you then might want to selfishly hoard the juice for yourself. | | |
| ▲ | eunoia 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | It would not be selfish to run your home off the car battery during peak rates and therefore cutting peak demand on the grid. Everyone wins. |

| Do any of the EVs sold in the US support Vehicle to Grid? |
| |
| ▲ | happyopossum 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Many do - teslas, ford lightnings, Kia ev9, all the GM Ultium stuff (Silverado etc, hummer ev, Cadillacs), and a bunch of others. | | | |
| ▲ | danans 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Yes, but last I checked the bidi chargers were proprietary - tied to vehicle manufacturer - which is a huge disincentive. I don't want my home's battery connector locked into a vehicle brand/manufacturer. | |
| ▲ | WarmWash 3 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Lightnings do (well before they were discontinued) But given they are NMC chemistry, you probably wouldn't want to cycle them a lot for the grid (or just your home). | | |
| ▲ | everybodyknows 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | You wouldn't have to, to nevertheless provide great benefit to the grid. Look up "TOU billing". |

| ▲ | oori 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Many do (assuming bidirectional charger), but it’s only 3.6kW max, in most cases |

| The down votes are because you use the word require. They’re never going to require it it would be opt in. |

| ▲ | medler 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | I think they mean to use EV batteries would require the EV to be designed for V2G capability, which is currently rare |
