You put USD...

But we can't buy this one either, right?

@schizoidman except it doesn't offer V2L as standard, it needs an adapter which very likely could void warranties etc. So not practical. Still a great priced EV though!

All the trims can do V2L if warranty is not a concern and the warranty does not void using that feature.

Ambibox GMBH are a company based in Mainz, Germany, specialising in making bidirectional chargers which they have tested on a number of EVs. Their charger has a CCS2 connector and converts the car’s DC output to AC without any modification to the vehicle.

BYD Seagul is $300/kwh. This one seems to be close to $250/kwh (if $16k figure used instead of $26k)

At either price, this is a great complement to home solar, or negative daytime utility prices from mass utility solar, and V2G after dusk. Should pay for the car over its lifetime.
