Snatch your replies are 'testy' (to say the least) and defensive

As OP I have the right to rigorously defend my discussion from being hijacked by ultracrepidarians. 

This system has the potential to save forum members a great deal of money. 

It's a shame when that message is being drowned out by those with no interest and even less understanding in it.

I have a 10 kw on Grid PV Solar System, can I use this V2L System as well or does it require installed Batteries for Solar System?

It just needs a transfer switch to switch between V2L and grid as you need.
 

If you can get your night-time load under a couple of kW then you might not need grid power at all. 

In Thailand a 10kW solar system will produce excess power in the middle of the day, which you can dump into car and then use at night. 
 

You can pick up an excellent MG4 with V2L for under ฿800k

I'll just buy a real car for that money then.

How will the "real car" power your home?

my instincts would be against overworking the batteries in this way and will that speed up the ageing process?

Firstly can I ask did you actually watch the videos? Because it sounds to me that you didn't as you would have seen the amount of power being drawn from the car. 

We need to put the emotive phrase "overworking" into context.

My EV's 82.5kWh battery is designed to propel a 2 tonne vehicle plus occupants 600km per charge. By comparison my house load at night is 500W or 0.5kWh per hour. So the car could power my house at night for 165 hours of night-time usage.

In the video  - that you didn't watch - I said that without using V2L I have run my house and one EV for over a year without drawing any power from the grid. So if in the future I have the need of a little extra help from my EV it is not going to be "overworking the batteries"

The rest of your questions are off-topic and are being ignored.

As OP let me remind everyone that this is a discussion about bi-directional charging.

Using an EV as a battery on wheels to power your home.

My EV has 82.5kWh of useable battery capacity compared to a Tesla Powerwall having only 13.5kWh.

This is game changing as you can charge your car up during the day when it’s sunny and draw a few hundred Watts to help run the house at night, while still have enough power drive your car in the morning.

don't need your permission to post whenever I want

The grownups were discussing an article that you couldn’t be bothered to read but you wanted to discuss it anyway!

You need to know if the charge stations along the route on your car map are free, working, and possible to use with your car to be able to plan, as otherwise, you risk spending as long in queues to get access to charging (and charging) as your time spent on traveling to your goal. That is sadly what happens to many EV owners if they plan to travel a decent distance!

You are replying to @KhunLA who owns an EV in Thailand and you are telling him about charging an EV in Thailand 

The question is, you the one giving advice about charging an EV in Thailand, do you actually own an EV in Thailand?  Or are you just spouting uninformed rubbish?

Are you trying to convince yourself that you've made the right choice buying an EV or those who don't want an EV that you are right and they are wrong??

I just bought my second EV so I'm putting my money where my mouth is.

There are plenty of people who don't want an EV which is fine, but please shut up about it  - nobody needs to hear every day that you don't want an EV

I would say that there are many people who post here who definitely shouldn't buy one. It's not as easy as rolling up to PTT and handing over a thousand Baht with a "Bee Jet Krap"  

There are apps and a lot of tech which can be a bit tricky for some.

"many people who post here who definitely shouldn't buy one"  end up on EV discussions trying to tell those of us who have been driving EVs in Thailand for years stuff like:

"There are no chargers in Thailand you know" 

"Battery will be dead in less than a year - it's the weather here you know" 

"EVs in Thailand are too expensive, you can't buy one for less than $100,000"

My question is why are they on EV discussions repeating the same old rubbish. 

Scaring my Thai friends could get addictive 

Will post my BYD Seal videos here

How can an EV be a source of power?

Decided engagement in this discussion was a complete waste of time

Until the batteries start to age after 1yr. IMO

"IMO" and your opinion is based upon....?

Owning an electric vehicle with an LiFePO4 Cathode  - I doubt it.

Maybe you had the same battery chemistry in a solar home storage setup  - unlikely

Or do you have an advanced degree in electrochemistry 

No clearly your opinion is uniformed and worthless

impressive ... 

Won't get you to CM or Phuket, but most of the country should be no problem.  

~500 kms range +/-

The BYD Seal Premium has an efficiency of 7.8km/kWh and can charge at 150kW. So it can add 20km per minute while charging.  A 10 minute charge adds 200km range.

Can you drive to BKK without an overnighter whilst recharging?

The BYD Seal has 3 models. I have the AWD Performance model with the bigger 82.5kWh usable battery and 580km range. BKK is 450km away.
