Industry jargon

Vehicle-to-home

Also called: V2H Vehicle-to-home, or V2H, lets a compatible EV supply electrical energy to a home through bidirectional charging equipment. The vehicle battery can support household loads when the system is configured for that use. Depending on the installation, V2H can support self-consumption, tariff optimisation or backup operation. Backup capability requires an electrical design that can isolate and supply the intended circuits safely when the grid is unavailable. V2H is distinct from V2G because the immediate destination is the premises rather than an export service to the public network.
