bighairymike: How much uncompensated wear and tear on privately owned batteries must be endured...

None. Who says bidirectional charging would be uncompensated?


Dope1: He doesn't know the first thing about what you're mentioning. He's seen the F-150 Lightning commercial and thinks, "Wow, my truck can power my house!". Too bad that while it does that...your ability to drive someplace kinda goes out the window. And yes, battery packs only have so many charge/discharge cycles in them before they need to be replaced.

Umm, everything's projection with you, isn't it? Well, when it's not twisting someone else's words around.

In fairness, it's usually both.

Bidirectional charging with respect to the power grid is not V2H and I never implied that it was. But adoption of both bidirectional charging and V2H is on its way; not yet ready for prime time but on the way. Technologies will improve or even change, and rapidly.

And how does your ability to drive someplace go out the window? Many families have two or more cars and they're not always in use. If you don't want a car bidirectionally charging, unplug it or flip a switch to stop the connection and just keep it in charging mode.


Dope1: Your average box wine-swilling, EV-driving sanctimonious virtue signaler likely has zero idea that a lot of Cobalt comes from child labor in the Congo.

So do shoes, rice, coffee, tea, leather goods, chocolate, rugs, diamonds, gold, clothing and a whole list of other products. No one on this board isn't buying something made by child labor.
