The new Model Y supposedly can do AC export now, (I have not taken it's new PCS apart yet) and the Cybertruck can too. All others cannot export AC but they can export DC. There are now a smattering of inverter boxes that connect to a Tesla and use DC export to make AC. However these are absolute crap, they are NON-ISOLATED, with one side of the AC line is swinging back at forth at full +/- pack voltage (square wave) while the other side is PWM'd. Also be warned if you value your battery warranty, because Tesla has language in there that voids it if you use any kind of stationary power.
ISO15118 Plug & Charge is a mechanism allowing the DCFC to securely authenticate the EV for billing, so you don't have to do anything but plug in. Tesla has used a similar method from the start, basically letting the car handle all the authentication, while the supercharger is just a "dumb" device that will give power if asked. Both the car and the supercharge log the session and report it to Tesla. If one or both is "down" as far as internet goes, you can still charge, as long as the car can talk to the mothership at least once in awhile. Even with ISO15118, many DCFC's still REQUIRE an internet connection before they will start, which causes the a significant amount of unreliability and hassle. 5 years ago I made these 2 videos: "Tesla Vehicle to Grid Debunked" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXokJEzXwaI "UPDATE: Tesla V2G Part 2" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkRk2OQI7RE On Fri, Dec 19, 2025 at 5:17 AM EV--- via EV <[email protected]> wrote: > TEVA (Tucson Electric Vehicle Association) is have its monthly meeting > this Sat (we meet by online video) and one of the items on the agenda is > 'ISO15118 Plug&Charge'.
