  • I guess there’s two kinds of V2L isn’t there?

    There’s the “we put an electrical outlet on your car so you can plug things into your car” type of V2L. That just seems kind of gimmicky to me but I could see it being nice while going camping, except I never go camping. Plus it seems like you could just buy a 12v to 120v inverter, hook it up to the 12v accessory battery, then turn on the car so it keeps the accessory battery topped up.

    Then there’s the other V2L. The one that’s supposed to be a game changer. The one that runs everything in your home automatically whenever your power goes out. The one where you can have it fill up the car battery overnight when your power costs are cheap, and then run the home off of the car during the day when the power costs are expensive. I know the Ford Lightning was supposed to be able to do this but I don’t think they ever got anywhere with it. Are there any cars on the market that do this?
