  • Yeah, for sure. There will no doubt be some serious anti-EV, and the usual anti-anything people to try and convince too.

    Also, most apartment car parks are underground or covered, you would only be capable of using the car as a source of power, and not as a store of newly generated power. Unless an apartment block put solar on their roof, which opens up another can of worms about who gets how much power and when. Messy.

    Your parked car could be used as a kind of day trader for power. Use power from your car at peak, charge at lowest?

    If you haven’t got your own solar source of power (eg solar on roof), buy an electric car that has solar cells on it? The only one that I’m aware of that gives practical daily range is the Aptera, but you’re not looking for daily range in this case. Meh, I don’t think solar cells on a footprint the size of a car are efficient enough to power an apartment…

    Lol, people will be fighting over car spots on the street where there are no trees or shade so they can charge up their cars while they go to work.

    I’m still struggling to see benefits of V2G in an apartment. There’s only that ‘day trading’ thing I mentioned above, which idk if it’s significant enough to do.
