On: Texas Power Prices Briefly Surpass $9k Amid Scorch...

The new Leaf is V2G capable. Devote your battery to shaving peak load a few times a year and you're going a long way towards closing the price gap with an ICE.

IIRC, Tesla decided against V2G years ago out of concern for battery life, but given that they're now claiming the batteries will outlive the cars that decision may change.

The old Leaf is, too. Pretty much any Leaf from 2012, onwards.

If you are in the UK and have a Leaf with a 30kWh battery or larger, you can participate in a V2G trial: https://www.ovoenergy.com/electric-cars/vehicle-to-grid-char...

Technically, Leafs with 24kWh batteries work, too, but they aren't normally accepted in the trial as there is not enough capacity to be worthwhile.
