Thinking about an EV? I would strong suggest avoiding a Tesla and picking another brand.

CEO of Tesla and acting President-elect Musk is going on a neo-Nazi binge endorsing far right candidates instead of properly running the companies he's involved in such as Tesla.
In addition Tesla is considered one of the most unreliable car brands according to: https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-placed-bottom-consumer-reports-reliability-rankings/
Moreover Tesla has the highest fatal accident rates of all car brands according to: https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a62919131/tesla-has-highest-fatal-accident-rate-of-all-auto-brands-study/
Also there are privacy implications with using a car that could in theory spy on you: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/05/massive-trove-of-tesla-files-contains-thousands-of-safety-complaints/
Now that more competent and establish brands are making EVs there's no reason to buy a Tesla if you want an EV. I'm not here to recommend another brand, I'm just here to tell you that your next EV should be anything other than a Tesla.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm looking for an EV with the NACS (Tesla) charger and that will do V2H (reverse) charging. I don't know if any of these exist yet.
If the car has a J1772 (it does) and supports V2H you're golden as J1772 is J3400 (NACS) and a passive adapter you can get for like 20 bucks will ensure you can use it anywhere
Even getting something with J3400 on it in the near future you'll likely end up wanting an adapter for all the machines on legacy hardware, anyway
Beware superchargers, they are only 400 volt at the moment. Right now, any 800+ volt EV will charge worse on Tesla superchargers than on 800 volt CCS chargers.
That will probably improve but it'll take years.
The 2025 Kia‘s EV6’s (and other models?) have the NACS and AFAIK, all EV6 models can do V2H. Some require an adapter and others have outlets in the base of the rear seats.
Also in January there is supposedly an update coming to enable compatibility with the supercharger network.
By V2H I mean I want to power my entire house, not just a couple outlets.
I'm looking for a sedan, and yeah, the Ionic is near the top of my list. Probably looking around this time next year (because the end of the year tends to be the best deals).

Adapters are cheap.
