I don't know any actual cars for sale that have this feature. Rumours were some of the VW range had the capability but would need a manufacturer update which never came.

I see some DIYers in the UK are doing DIY vehicle to house doing a changeover in the evenings to power the low power loads such as lights and fridges from existing vehicle to load systems. These are lowish power and not intended to be wired to house fuse board but some people have rewired their house to allow changeover in the evenings on low power items. Ideal if you have free workplace charging.

I heard car manufacturers would not enable the option until they had energy deals done and they might get a cut or have a fee for the option and to take into account the risk of more common battery warranty claims if used to power a house regularly.

Kia EV9 has it for one. It’s not available in Ireland currently though anyway.

Looks like it'll be an AC V2G charger, in that the car will use an onboard inverter to output AC via the charge port to the house

So the like of the Hyundai and Kia EVs should be able to use it

VW won't because they bet on DC V2G (twats)

Could be a game changer, an AC based solution should be much cheaper so could be competitive with a home battery
