If you're charging at home, you have 100% control over the situation and if you're at a public charging station, they're not likely to do V2G. There is ZERO evidence they're going to force people to participate in V2G and when they start doing V2G, people will do it because there is a financial incentive to do so.

How do you drive your car after powering your home with it? What nonsense.

I would hope so... But solar feed in rates are about 1/4 of the buy in rate. I imagine battery feed in rates are much the same. So if you charge your EV off full rate power, then feed it back in during a blackout, you're paying a premium for someone else's lights to run. The only place it would be a benefit is somewhere that the car is charged off solar in a guaranteed way, or if they have a deal with the energy provider to pay nothing for the car charging and get nothing back for it charging the grid.

Well then just line up all the EVs and Power Australia 😆😆😆

In order to put DC current through a transformer which then puts it back into the grid,you have to first change it to AC current.DC current can not 'jump' from one coil to another of a transformer.EV's are run on battery which is DC current.

The whole idea is absolute gargage

Will EV owners be eligible for a reasonable 'feed into the grid' rate when the electricity is taken from the vehicle??

V2G is a great feature so long as the users are compensated appropriately. Pay $0.10-$0.40 per KWH to charge car, get paid $1-$3 per KWH to discharge car.

its because of miss management of state electrical grids like south australia is dependant on coal from other states that requires home owners to put power back into the grid, becase the state has utterly failed

Yeeaah.. This is also pretty much how power Works! The cars acted as 'battery banks' no different than a solar-setup.. DERP.

The detection of failure relies upon a decrease in AC frequency. This only happens with mechanical generation, ie coal or gas fired turbines slowing. Take them away on a large scale and the frequency doesn’t change as it is manufactured.

Yeah expecting a charged EV but the grid took it, Then add solar panels to your house costing you money as the grid can't use it so charge you money at its peak because the demand is not there as most people are at work. So unless you have battery system then some of these people are giving free EV charging so to use up the excess power. Absolutely crazy and the details starting to come out.
