    I was wrong under the impression V2G was ready  too go following Octopus Energy recent announcements,  there are 2 reasonably priced  bi-directional chargers on the market, obviously I was wrong. Would V2H be viable or is that also at the trial stage.

    I’m aware Octopus, BYD (Dolphin) & Zaptec Pro bidirectional charger have a V2G* leasing package and support from Kraken, which is responsible for Octopus’s intelligent tariffs, how many energy companies support such tariffs! Yes various products are available on the market, but is it at the mainstream or 1st gen Nissan leaf?

    *Whils’t the Zaptec Pro meets ISO 151188, it does include bidirectional metering for energy export at the time of launch and I’m not aware of any updates to this. Zaptec Go 2 meets both these conditions and is a V2G ready AC charger.
