You could do a bit of a gorilla V2G setup I guess. I was considering this for a while to find a suitable grid interactive inverter that I could hook up to my Nissan Leafs 12V battery since that gets charged by the main battery, and I've used it before to power my refrigerator all day with a Harbor Freight 120V inverter. The trick is I guess to find a 240V split phase inverter that takes a 12V input that is grid interactive.
Enphase micro inverters should work (my PV system alteady uses them), but you would also need a DC to DC converter to step up the 12V to at least 24V I think.

I'd also recommend checking your insurance policy. In case of a mishap it would be good to know you're covered.

Thank you! I will send an email and see what happens. I really want to get my personal record streak back to 23 like it should be and earn the points!

> It wouldn't be hard to connect an EV's battery to a solar inverter. V2G is not magic, just of the shelf parts.
Perhaps but there are considerations such as the additional wear/tear on the battery.
