You can purchase a Ford F150 Lightning or an F150 with Powerboost option here in the US that provides the ability to use your vehicle as a b/u generator. I have the 7.2 kW Powerboost/Pro Power option in my F150 Lariat. You end up with a 240 VAC 30A outlet that you run a portable generator cord set to a residential transfer switch in the house. As others have noted, depending on your residential setup, installation and wiring of the transfer switch can involve significant cost (hundreds to thousands of dollars) to have the proper hardware installed by a licensed electrician. I say proper hardware as the F150 forums are filled with individuals trying to go things on the cheap and end up with vehicle nuisance breaker tripping or worse, unsafe conditions in the house. The issue is the vehicle configuration (at least in the F150 case) for how the ground and neutral feeds are handled, as it requires a specific type of transfer switch to eliminate the truck breaker tripping constantly from false ground faults. The bottom line is the capability exists today and can be done safely but is isn’t without some technical challenges. In the case of the F150, the inverter for DC to AC conversion is in the truck. IMO, that doesn’t make sense for all vehicles so there is the dependency on the standards bodies to define a common vehicle and residential utility configuration. For the Taycan, a retrofit to pull a HVDC feed out of the car and then hit an inverter to connect to a residential transfer switch is likely a bridge too far given the current (no pun intended…) state.
Porsche are already working on v2g.
The Indra V2G project is unlikely to come to fruition… as it seems their main investment partner (the big energy giant OVO energy) has walked away.
I have what’s called V2G from OVO energy on my Nissan Leaf. It’s called Grid Balancing and charge it when they want and they take (export) power when they need it. I can specify for each day when I need it and the charge level I require. Never failed yet. I get paid 11 pence more than I pay to charge whenever they take power out, - but that means that they now pay 41pence for every kW I export from my solar panels as wellI. The carefull control of the charge/discharge rates means that I am informed the battery is in a really excellent state and the car is nearly 7 years old! I make an average of £150 rebate per month. I have asked when Porsche are going to negotiate something similar with the UK energy suppliers, because looks like I should earn much more.
I asked about Porsche tech support about this. They replied but declined to comment one way or the other. I think I'm going to give it a go. Should work.
