"Electric-car owners in South Australia can now apply to take part in an
Australian-first trial which allows their battery-powered vehicles to supply
power to their homes.

Electricity provider South Australia Power Networks (SAPN) has launched a trial
in which the state's electric-car owners can apply for a bi-directional
charger, provided the car is equipped with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) or
vehicle-to-home (V2H) capabilities.

Bi-directional charging allows V2G-equipped electric cars to use their battery
as a portable power supply when the grid is non-operational, or to save on
electricity bills."

I’m looking forward to V2H being allowed in this state. We already have solar
panels and a Nissan Leaf.

Cheers,
