    Vehicle to grid would be great during short blackouts — no need for a permanent battery and you can keep the lights and fridge going.

      Maybe not vehicle to grid, but vehicle to select critical circuits in your home until a certain level of charge. While I dont want my fridge warm, I can choose not to open it. I would hate to have a black out during some major incident and ALSO have a dead battery and not have any form of transportation either. Maybe a notification when it hits a certain discharge and you need to approve it to keep going.

      I can see why they wouldn’t want you to use your car as a battery for your solar on a permanent basis. Those cycles would be horrible for your car, but in an emergency, it would seem easy enough to set up.
