Are there any Forum members who used to be part of the V2G trial?

Just wondering whether there were many from the original trial still going with the charger? And, also thoughts on the ending of the export credit and the new V2G trial?

I use a tethered cable which came with the charger, the end that’s connected to the car. Nissan Leaf has two charging ports.

To net-zero and beyond!

I'm assuming that is not the usual behaviour. On my Zoe the car would not release the cable if it's charging and still won't release it until I tell it to let go because the last bit is a security measure. It has never failed to release the cable when required. It seems to be a known issue for a Leaf so have a look at this.

Hi All,

 

I’ve sold our leaf so the Indra V2G unit is surplus, has been working fine, anyone interested in it for spares? I’m not on facebook so this seemed the best place to post...

There is interest on SpeakEV.com for V2G so I would head over there and see what the score is. No need to become a member of that yet unless you think that looks promising. I think that is far more likely to produce results than on here.

Welcome to the OVO Forum ​@noone321 and thanks for your post.

 

I agree with ​@Peter E - SpeakEV will be your best bet for this sort of thing, but that’s not to say you’re not welcome here to ask any questions you may have! We’re just not a buying / selling platform. Are you going to be buying a different EV?
