I live in the US and I bought my Leaf back in 2021 when there was talk of the ability to use one to power a home when the electrical grid is down. V2H. 2 and a half years and still waiting. Fermata Energy has been approved by Nissan to be used, but have only been marketed and sold for commercial use, not home owners. Last month they sent me an email with a survey to fill out. They may be finally considering offering their product to homeowners.
One component that is crucial for homeowners is an automatic transfer switch that disconnects the home from the grid to protect utility workers from electrial shock during an outage. Fermata Energy as far as I know does not offer one. So I do not believe they will offer anything for the homeowners market any time soon.
Another company is Enphase. My local installer informed me their product will be offered late 2024. Their equipment includes an ATS.
For those of us who are looking for this option. Maybe we will see some progress soon.
