Hi, my car is 12 years old now and I drive <3k miles per year, mostly local. I’m looking to replace with a small van because have a few dogs, I like DIY and carry materials sometimes, and I take my motorbike to trackdays every now and again. However, given it will spend most of its life on the sat on my drive I would like to look at options for using the battery for home storage.
On that basis, I’m considering a cheap Nissan e-nv200, it ticks all boxes for me on load size and capacity and is capable of bidirectional charge (and is super cheap used, which is nice).
I already have a Victron MultiPlus-II 48/5000/70-50 230V GX, running ESS only with 3x4.8kw Pylontech US5000 for the last couple of years. I would like to consider if there are options to use the inverter and ESS with the e-NV200. My podpoint wallbox would need t be replaced with something can can do dc birectional charging. Most of the conversation online is about V2H requiring AC/DC inverter built into cars or wallboxes and this seems to be the issue with compliance and lack of options. I am hoping it might be simpler with the existing multiplus and using the car as a dumb battery, rather than any vehicle to grid stuff (a bit like I do with the Pylontech now).
So, any and all thoughts appreciated, and I’m open to trial and error, spending a little for experimentation etc, so long as its legal
