👉 One of the first cars on the market with V2G capability is the Nissan Motor Corporation LEAF, introduced in 2017. Now, 5 years lager, you could get the first Nissan approved V2G charger.

👉 Teslas Power walls 🔋 installed in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 powered 44.000 homes after a hurricane caused a grid-outage 💨. Impressive that close to 4% of households are equipped with Teslas Wall Boxes, which is just a fraction of the total market. So far the power walls are not connected to a virtual power plant but this might happen in the future.
