Unlock the Power of your EV with V2X technology

🤔 And Imagine an electric vehicle that does more than just take you from point A to point B! – it POWERS your Home!

🤔 with this technology you can Power your home from your Car when it is parked in your drive and plugged into our V2X Bidirectional charger.

Welcome to the V2X EV Powerhouse

How it works –

With our V2X charger your EV will be programmed to charge during the night, (typically between 00.00 hrs and 07.00hrs. in the morning, off peak) to your required charging level. If you have opted to have an EV Electricity tariff, an example being the Eon Next “Next Drive Fixed” you will be charged as low as 6.7p / kWhr.

EV with Larger Battery?

Often EV owners complain that they can’t achieve a full charge for their vehicles during this quite high off peak 7hr period – other suppliers have shorter periods of even 5hrs. This is becoming an increasing problem for “Home charging” with newer model EVs’ now having larger Batteries for longer range.


The Problem is considerably further increased by the fact that most Home EV chargers can only charge at a rate of 7.4kW / hr. – this means that using these normal one direction chargers for up to 7hrs you can only increase your battery by a maximum of 51.8 kWhr. Some EV’s now have battery capacity of 118 kWh !! Many more with 60 to 80 kWhr batteries.

“During the last power cut, our EV powered the whole house—lights, fridge, everything. It’s a total game changer. We’ll never go without backup again!”

“Being able to run our home off the EV during outages blew our minds. No more candles or cold dinners—this system has completely changed the game!”

V2X EVDC bidirectional charger -

With our V2X bidirectional DC charger you can charge your EV at a maximum rate of 25 kW/hr.( dependant on customer survey and system design ) That’s THREE and a HALF times faster – yes 3.5 x faster than the normal Home AC charger.
This means that it could deliver in the same 7hr period in theory 7hrs x 25 being *175 kWhr. For a 118kWhr battery EV this is far more than enough.
*So to charge that 51.8 kWhr of EV battery ( the maximum a normal home AC charger can deliver in a 7hr period ) would take just *2hrs 5 minutes with our V2X charger – WOW!

As the charger is an integral part of the V2X solution it is V.A.T. rated 0%. A normal domestic 7.4 kWhr A.C. charger is V.A.T. rated 20%.


For clarity – all domestic electricity provided by your Electricity supplier is charged at V.A.T. rated 5%. All electricity supplied at Public EV charging points is charged at V.A.T. rated 20%.

- Wow!

Our V2X Solution –

A V2X Bi-directional EV DC charger makes this possible! And comes with a CCS2 plug meaning the same plug that you are familiar with when using very fast Public and very expensive DC chargers – however in this case at “Home Charging rates” of only 6.7p / kWhr. A Massive saving over even the cheapest public charging stations.

NEXT STAGE -

Normally you would unplug – and use you EV car travelling to work or for pleasure as required. Your home would be powered from your electricity supplier at the normal rate – with Eon “Next Drive Fixed” it would cost 24.67p / kWHr. There are other suppliers offering competitive rates for EV drivers and its worth looking at the comparison sites for the best tariff that suits you and your lifestyle.

With a V2X solution –

You will have also have a battery storage system into which your bidirectional charger is incorporated. You also have an option to have solar power (panels) incorporated as well – however this is NOT a necessity albeit a good option.

Using your EV

Your travelling in your EV and your V2X system has automatically switched your Home over from the Grid to being supplied with electricity stored in your home batteries at the cheap 6.7p / kWhr rate NOT the peak 24.67p rate. Your EV has also been *fully charged and at the off peak rate of 6.7p. NOW your taking ALL your Home electricity demand from the V2X battery storage. Your Home and EV electricity demand effectively costing you just 6.7p /kWhr for the FULL 24hr period of each day!

IN ADDITION

In the Event of a Power failure of the Grid in your area, ( which unfortunately are becoming a more common event ) the V2X solution will automatically provide Backup POWER with instantaneous and undetectable transfer from the Grid to the V2X backup batteries. Use your home in exactly the same way with Central heating, lighting, TV, cooking, etc. in fact everything is still available – your now the envy of all your neighbours who are in Total darkness! For those living alone – the added security of ALL the facilities of your home including Burglar alarms, surveillance cameras – door bell cameras etc. all working as normal.

Welcome to the V2X EV Powerhouse

Of course the more power you use in your home will determine how long you can be reliant on your battery storage to keep you supplied with cheap rate electricity and continued supply in the event of a Grid Power failure. Come to the rescue V2X – Power your home from your EV – Well – your EV is in fact a giant power storage battery and when NOW plugged into your V2X bidirectional charger this power can flow in the opposite direction to feed your Home. Remember the term V2H – Vehicle to Home. Typically our V2X solution can supply an average home with average power demands just over *2 days without the need to plug your EV into the V2X

Home Demand

Of course the more power you use in your home will determine how long you can be reliant on your battery storage to keep you supplied with cheap rate electricity and continued supply in the event of a Grid Power failure.

Come to the rescue V2X

Power your home from your EV – your EV is in fact a giant power storage battery and when NOW plugged into your V2X bidirectional charger this power can flow in the opposite direction to feed your Home. Remember the term V2H – Vehicle to Home, that’s what it means.
Typically our V2X solution can supply an average home, ( without your EV pugged in ), with average power demands just over *2 days

Plugged into V2X

Sell excess power to the Grid

With your EV plugged in – this emergency power backup can be extended for upwards of *11 to 14 or more days – even longer if you are careful with what you use at that end period. WOW!

Your V2X system is also able to export excess power you might have in your Battery storage or Solar (if installed) or even from your EV if you have opted to get an Export tariff from your EV tariff supplier or even a different supplier – meaning you can have an Import tariff from one supplier and a separate export tariff from a different supplier at the same time. This can effectively give you an extra income stream – in some *cases NOT paying for any electricity at all, even to charge your EV.

ZERO Rated V.A.T.

As the V2X charger is installed as an integral part of a battery storage system – the whole V2X Solution continues to be V.A.T. rate of 0%. A stand alone charger will attract 20% V.A.T.

V2L – Vehicle to Load

Now the V2X Solution so far to power your home, sell power to the grid, and as an emergency backup power source is reliant on the fact that your EV is capable of V2H and V2G using the CCS2 charging port on your vehicle.

Should your EV only have V2L capabilities – examples being one of the MG EV range of models, some Volvo models, Kia models, Polestar models etc. we can still provide these same functions but at a much reduced rate of discharge back to the Home, or Grid or in an emergency, using your normal Type 2 AC charging port on your vehicle.

Many owners of V2L capable EVs’ will tell you that their vehicles can power their homes already – meaning they can plug domestic appliances into them such as kettles, toasters, microwaves TVs, computers etc.

However – be aware that using these appliances rely solely on being able to plug them into their EVs V2L extension cable socket.

They will not be able to use things like the lights, central heating – anything else in their homes other than items with a 13 amp plug on the end of it.

Our V2X Solution enables these same EV owners to have just ONE 13 amp or 16 amp plug on the end of their V2L extension cable. They will in fact be able to use EVERYTHING in their home as if the power had not failed. Meaning central heating, all lighting, sockets, fridges, freezers, security systems etc. limited however by the output rating of their EV’s on board AC inverter – for example the M.G. range has a 3.3kW V2L output, the Hyundai IconiQ 5 and Kia both have 3.6kW outputs.

Your V2L will connect seamlessly into our V2X system.

Future support of the Public Grid system

Not only can your V2X solution provide V2H (powering your home) it can in fact support the Grid! In this mode it is known by the term V2G (Vehicle to Grid). If you have Solar -your actually providing modest support now when your exporting and selling your excess Solar power to the grid.
However – There are proposals being promoted whereby EV owners will in the Future as a large group have the opportunity to participate in providing power to the grid at times of extremely high demand ( more likely in Winter months ) – basically providing power from your large EV POWER STORAGE with a V2X solution to your neighbours and the wider community. This of course would not only come with the satisfaction of “doing your bit” it would also come with the potential of substantial financial gain! As your reward.
Your V2X Solution is Future Proofed.

AI – Artificial Intelligence

Yes – a V2X solution is also able to use its on board AI facility to co-ordinate and adapt to give you the best rewards as it learns from your particular usage and lifestyle patterns – and of course to “Future Proof” your possible choice of “Future Support of the Public Grid System” already mentioned above. All these features possible through its communication ability with Suppliers such as Octopus Intelligent tariffs for an even more cost effective V2X solution.

Electricity suppliers opinion of a V2X solutions?

Quote : Electricity supplies see households with V2X solutions ( battery storage systems ) using cheap rate electricity AS A POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT as it helps to reduce grid strain during peak demand times and can also lead to more efficient use of energy sources.

These systems allow customers to store cheaper energy during off- peak hours and use it during peak hours, effectively shifting demand and reducing the need for expensive grid electricity at peak times and reduce the strain on power plants which would otherwise be operating at full capacity.
