bi-directional EV charger
Has anyone any experience with the use of bi-directional EV chargers (e.g. https://wallbox.com/en_uk/quasar-dc-charger) that support vehicle to home / grid (V2H / V2G)? As far as I can see, only the Nissan Leaf openly supports the technology so far but other manufacturers will surely follow in...www.askaboutmoney.cominstallation of electric vehicle home charger

Would've helped if you said that originally.not really (i did read before posting)
depends really, in essence they are all just outdoor plugs capable of charging at 7kw/h.hi ..hoping you can help me create a short list for electric car chargers ..for VW ID type car ...any recommendations?
loose criteria (early days open to inputs) ...thinking of tethered, abilty to set charge time (avail over overnight rates) etc.
lower priority but something neat/tidy preferred.
people over think this, never happens, most chargers can be locked via the app anyway.Putting charger on the gable wall (near meter boxes).
Would it be better to have it inside the garden gate?
How do you prevent unwanted persons charging their cars?
You have empirical proof?never happens
You have empirical proof?
The number of EVs is low at present relative to the total number of cars; I don't expect it to stay that way.
Petrol siphonage was a known problem many years ago; as was theft of car radios. I wouldn't be surprised to hear of unwanted EV charging in time.
Are all chargers locked via an app? Does that mean if phone is lost or damaged you can't get access?
Is having the charger behind the side gate a good idea?
given the location of the property in question, this is possible.so someone is going to park in your drive way for hours on end ... and you wont notice?
Anything that makes it more awkward for a thief makes it more awkward for you - every single time!! Think of coming home in the rain having to negotiate that side gate.anyone else - would having the charger behind the side gate be a good idea?
if you are that concerned about it and the security offered via the app isnt convenient and you dont want to use your breaker on the fuseboard to disable it you could always pay a bit more and get one of the ones that need a fob or keycard to activate, still the same issue, you could lose the fob or keycard i suppose.given the location of the property in question, this is possible.
thank you for the info re the app; I don't however have a second phone.
