Don't disagree. 12V solution is good cheap solution if you don't need to power much equipment. Like I said, so far I'm on the only idiot I've met willing to pay that much, so not a mass product so far. I think the price can get down to $2000 with volume and no tariffs. Still too much @powersurge?
That's me in the video.
And when I was at Nissan, I led the LA Air Force Base V2G project. The details in that summary are mostly correct. We used MY12 Nissan LEAFs in that project so had to make some modifications that are not required for MY13+.
I'm in the process of getting more units from...
You are correct - it needs external power. I took apart one of the Setec Power units and there is a DC power supply in there that enables the the start of the V2H session.
A couple of years ago, the Nichicon was around 650,000 yen (~$6000USD)

There was a thread on this already in Battery and Charging, but wanted to post in accessories too.
I bought a V2H device from Setec Power in China that allows for bi-directional charging to pull energy from the LEAF through the CHAdeMO port. I testing it out and it works. Somehow I managed to...
Having trouble sharing full spec for some reason, but here are the basics
AC Output Power 3kW
AC Output voltage 100-260ACV
Frequency: 50/60Hz
Current: 15A
Output voltage accurate: 200V±6%
Regarding the Setec Power V2H system, I accidentally bought two. Apparently I'm not clever enough to use Alibaba.com correctly. Anyone have interest in buying my second one? Around $3K with shipping. It is only 220V AC output though, so can only handle universal charging devices (most phones and...
