It’s worth posting Tesla’s view on this subject, which come close to my own views. Some here have convinced me that there *may* be some value for some consumers. Presumably if there isn’t enough value for enough people, we’ll find out pretty quickly. Hopefully that will occur without too much in tht way of wasted resources and effort.
“Vehicle to grid benefits can be recognized much more efficiently when EV deployment is at scale rather than in the early adopter phase. At the same time, any discussion regarding the capabilities of EV related technologies must recognize as a first principle that customer experience and willingness for participation is key. There certainly may be an opportunity for future projects and programs that focus on advanced technological integration, such as the eventual aggregation of EVs in the future to provide grid services in wholesale markets. In any setting, it is important to remember that EVs are modes of transportation first and foremost for customers. There is also an opportunity to evaluate stationary storage assets first to provide similar grid services capabilities from a wholesale electricity market perspective.” - Mark Sent from my Fuel Cell powered iPhone > On May 19, 2020, at 6:28 PM, evln via EV <[email protected]> wrote: > > Here what I was going to post, read: > > https://electrek.co/2020/05/19/tesla-bidirectional-charging-ready-game-changing-features/ > Tesla quietly adds bidirectional charging capability for game-changing new > features > May. 19th 2020 ...
