Volkswagen releases software update that allows EV to function as a home battery

To your last point… That’s because many politicians/policymakers are not engineers. They have no knowledge of these kinds of topics.

Also the reason why our current system is unable to adequately solve contemporary (complex) problems…

LFP with V2g is indeed great.

People are all clamoring for charging cycles. With a limited charging current and if you keep it between 40 and 80% you can really have thousands of charging cycles. Much more than when you use it as a water tank (many people want to use it as a water tank because they are used to the fuel tank): as in, loading it completely, emptying it completely and then filling it completely again. That’s the real way to get an NMC battery to the landfill as quickly as possible.

If you charge and discharge with 3-5kW (Average current in a house) then it will last a very long time, because you do not draw a large amount of Coulombs from that battery. Driving on the highway much more.

Stop spreading fear is my message to the average audience, give me this V2G technique very quickly.

An ID.3 is fine, but really Volkswagen; make sure it can tow a trailer. What replaces the Golf, while you can’t tow anything with it? Can’t Jan with the cap with his frikandel trailer just do his own move?
