Obviously Volvo/Polestar doesn't support true vehicle-to-grid (V2G) reverse charging - I think only some Nissan vehicles support that currently with special wall charging stations. Tesla is long-rumored to be working on it also.
But I was wondering to what extent could we use our P8's big electric batteries to charge/run stuff around the house during a power outage? Can I plug in my iPhones/iPads to the USB ports to charge them multiple times? Could I plug an inverter into a 12V outlet to run some limited AC household devices (say a laptop or small refrigerator)?
Our P8s have a 12V battery in addition to the big 78KWh electric motor battery. The 12V battery presumably runs the 12V and USB outlets. So is the big 78KWh battery constantly recharging the 12V battery? Or does the 12V battery only recharge when the car is hooked up to a charging station?
I'm curious how much of the stored 78KWh we could actually use during a power outage. Thanks!
