Also I guess the ideal way to do it is to get DC straight from the solar, before it goes to an inverter. People with micro-inverters (like me!), where each panel has its own DC->AC inverter, are in a less ideal position.

I'm reading up on bidirectional EV chargers and it looks like they will be an order of magnitude more expensive than Level 2 home chargers. $10,000-ish for a "BiDi" charger system installed vs $1500-ish for a Level 2.

Also the Enphase is delayed until 2026 (https://www.reddit.com/r/enphase/comments/1iobm9q/enphase_bidirectional_ev_charger_now_pushed_to/) and Wallbox Quasar 2 is only launching in seven states, none of which are Michigan (https://www.kianewscenter.com/news/all/kia-enhances-ev-capabilities-with-smart-charging-and-vehicle-to-home-services/s/c11217c4-632c-4f20-b8ca-cb0c01e01afe#_ftn2)

The pedants tried to give us the language to discuss this problem with LLMs. They fought hard to distinguish "raising the question" from the logical fallacy of "begging the question" but, in the end, were overwhelmed.
