My friend charge his ev car during day time...enegy from solar/tnb....night time  he is using his ev car as a genset.

I also have alot of balance......at this moment mine I sold it to my neighbour as he has just bought an ev car.....

I am considering using my EV as genset copy what my friend did.

Anyone done this? EV like a power bank?

Unless your car can provide three phase electricity...
No way.

But it is possible when they are lots of used EV that is retired, possible to hack and engineer it to work.


Plus need to address.

1. Full time on/off grid?
2. Nem, off? Meaning self only.
3. Single or three phase.

Basically need a full gen/full battery backup sat to be honest, if you are fully off grid. Because solar will have lots of dips and surge in production.

Continuously charging and discharging the car isn't going to be giving a long shelf life to the battery.

So to try to save on electricity bills you go and degrade the one thing that will cost a brand new myvi

But it is 8 years warranty......and at year 6 i plan to dispose off

Good idea, just dun cry mader fader why you change battery faster than other EV car users.

EV car usually have 8 years battery waranty....and can extend 2 more years by paying Rm4K extra. Total 10 years.

Evs are meant to save you money but you end up spending more than petrol that you pump over the years.

I don't get you ev drivers

You should go check how byd car charge at ah kow ah mou b40 house .....

If you think you are smarter than EV manufacturers tat they wont know what you are doing then go ahead.

Hope u read the warranty T&C first.....

I always like to change car ...my style.....boring to drive same car over and over.....you have no life if drive a dynasour

I read the T&C....the car can be use as genset/power bank....they even provided 3 pin plug outlet & cable for it.

Why you want to strain your expensive battery mileage?

I believe buying batteries and properly setting up for energy storage will still be a cheaper choice than a full fledged EV now

BYD battery only cost RM24K replacement......is that expensive?...maybe 2027 drop to RM15K

Occasional use while you’re outside or camping are reasonable lah.

But using it everyday? You’re just putting additional strains to your car battery for no reason.

The same amount of money can buy you deep cycle solar battery to power whole row of house in you taman

Like i said up to you, just dun cry mader fader later on.

They are BYD EV users.....selling Loklok at road side in China.....doing that every day

You are being stupid....maybe years 2027 we have engineer ....solving problem of storing solar electricity day time .in EV......and sell it back to grip during night time...people like you do deserve to remain poor......low IQ

Yes. the V2G is part of the future planning

BYD is cheap in Tongsan, they pretty much expect to pakai buang it when battery degrades too much.

Also if you’re doing business, so long as your revenues > the losses/costs, it’s justifiable. Meanwhile you’re getting it for home use, how to justify the huge losses?
