I would love to buy a huge battery and go 100% off grid, but the cost, especially for batteries is too much right now. I do have an EV that supports bi-directional charging. Anyone have success or ideas for using heir EV for battery to store excess power for use in the house?
The way our tariff works is that we can offset our use, but we do not get to keep our excess generation. I have a 4.6kW grid-tied system.
I inquired with a company called wall box, and they said they would email me when they have a product to go to market in my area. I’m not aware of an available commercial product.
It kinda seems like a no-brainer to use the 40kWh bidirectional battery I already have, especially because I don’t drive much. But my brain does not know where to start.
