https://www.eos-e.com/blog/v2h-compatible-vehicles-2026 11 so far.
I was shocked when I saw 11, but then realized that 8 are basically all the same behemoth vehicle and 1 is discontinued, so I'd say it's more like 3. Still I didn't think there were any, so that's pretty good, thanks.
I hope this becomes a standard. Honestly it's a damn shame that it isn't already. People complain about EVs destabilizing the grid, and they're not wrong, but only because they don't have the necessary equipment to actually do the opposite (and also because all vehicles basically default to the max charge rate, which no one adjusts).
