650V capable inverters?

I am (very likely) buying a van that is built with a 650 Volt electric drivetrain.
I want to modify it with a new battery pack and so on.
One of the things I would like to do is use a grid-tied / AC-coupled inverter to make the energy use more flexible.
Currently the van is already fitted with a 22kW 3 phase AC charger which is quite nice.
But I would rather have a 3 phase inverter that works like a lot of grid-tied inverters.
Meaning that it can deliver power off-grid (working on the car battery pack), charge the battery from grid, but also export energy back to the grid.
Exporting back to the grid would be mostly software controlled by me. So I need an inverter that I can control.

However, most high voltage inverters that I have found are only going up to 500 or 600v. A 650 volt system seems a bit too much.
Does anybody have some suggestions?

I could keep using the available 22kW charger and have some other (grid-tied) inverter to feed energy back to the grid, but typically these grid-tied inverters can of course do both ways, and therefore also act as a charger.

Thanks in advance
