I might be interested if the power specifications meet my needs. Is the output 3-wire 120/240 volts, 240 volts only, or 120 volts only. I trust that it is a true sine wave inverter, correct? What is the capacity in kW?
powersurge said:$4000 for a power inverter?
I cannot see this as mass produced product.
I can go to Harbor Freight and get a $50 1500 watt inverter for my 12 volt battery on the leaf..
may not last for weeks, but days?
JeremyW said:I've learned that Nissan will void the battery warranty on vehicles that are being used for power export. Obviously they can't tell on the 12V side. No idea if the BMS logs V2G/H sessions. I believe Nissan is working on a certification spec for under 10kW so you can do V2H while still keeping the battery warranty intact.
That said, Princeton Power went out of business last year (they did the hardware for the V2G trials at LAAFB), so your current options are the Setec or up-and-coming Wallbox. :| In Japan they have a few other options, but all of them are very pricy.

Attached is the V2X section of my 2021 Leaf's manual. Not much description, but alludes to an "option" of V2X. Is it possible that there is a correlation between this "option" and inclusion of these messages in the new Leaf's programming? I'm hoping to hear back from the US rep that handles V2X questions - but have my doubts I'll learn much!

Dala said:All 2013+ LEAFs are capable of V2X. It is just the ZE0 2011-2012 version that is only Chademo v0.9 compatible, this one needs a VCM update in order to support V2X.
Depending on your LEAF generation, they allow different amounts of discharge. Here's some data I've found for minimum SOC:
2013-2017 LEAF, 62%
2018+ LEAF, 7%
eNV200, 77%
So Nissan definately allows for a more usable V2X solution on the ZE1 models!
You can keep discharging until the battery SOC falls to just 7%. So that's nearly empty. In other words, it lets youi use nearly all the battery if you want.goldbrick said:Is the 2018+ really limited to 7% or ...
