super popular in Australia (we have no quotas and no tarrfis)

still a lot of sinophobia but that was the case way back as well. An example, my Grandfather was in WW2 and he said he would disowned my dad if he bought a Toyota when I was a teen (am 60 now). And when Sth Korea launched their cars they're were laughed at.

Yeah there’d be a huge dummy spit here if suddenly barriers were thrown up to Chinese…cars in Australia. Lots of people driving them, using them as battery backup for home solar systems.

i used V2L on mine once during a power outage, a storm took out some trees that took out some power lines. Mine comes with a 3 plug GPO, one end to the car charge port for power, the other one extension cord to the fridge, one to the freezer and the other to a couple LED desk lamps, router and NBN box and USB charger. We'd lost power for about 2 days. Barley budged the battery level in the car.

V2H and V2G will become more of a thing as well eventually although lots of folks are busy installing home batteries.

Yeah they’ve been a game changer and they’re helping us build a very resilient grid. If I owned it’d be a no brained for me as well. I’d have one and I’d have it plugged to solar.
