V2H Bi-Directional Charging over CCS
planned
Jose Castillo
Enable V2H (Vehicle to Home) bi-directional charging capability over from the CCS port. And verify to current R1 owners this will work with their vehicles.
This is part of the current CCS spec ISO 15118-20:2022
Road vehicles — Vehicle to grid communication interface — Part 20: 2nd generation network layer and application layer requirements
This is a major environmental win for owners to be able to skip having large home backup batteries and aligns with Rivian's mission. It's also a huge win for owners to save money by reusing batteries that are in short supply and environmentally damaging to mine the materials for.
Please work with Wallbox to ensure compatibility with the Quasar 2 (and other companies as they release their chargers)

Found 3 companies planning bidirectional charging. Seems Rivian Gen 1 needs DC version which does supply higher energy levels than AC (likely what Ford F-150 L, Volvo XC 90, and GMC Hummer) which all have announced plans for supporting this.

Really looking forward to the ability to do this, and the chargers to support it.

Woo!! Hopefully this comes sooner rather than later. 24kw is more than the Ford Lightning, no?

RJ has mentioned more than once that trucks delivered are capable of this, no charger available to support at this time though at same time indicated this is in the works.
No clue how NACS announcements impact this...

Wassym mentioned in Reddit AMA last night that this is still planned for Gen 1 and Gen 2 vehicles.

shouldn't this be marked as in progress?
