Interesting thanks! It looks like most of the GM vehicles that v2x works with are... uh... not really something a European would consider an option (not even sure if some of them will fit on our roads). Ford UK makes no mention anywhere of anything to do with v2x though.
There's a few places that apparently offered it here, but when I've contacted them, they've all explained it was a tech demo, or trial, or some other PR type thing which means they didn't take it any further and regular humans can't buy it. I think there's some nuance or regulation around the UK power network which is stopping any progress with bidirectional charging here.
Over here though, if you don't have old electric heating, or an electric shower, 9.6kw is very much more than enough for the average household. I have a relatively high usage, and a 6kw inverter can power my house in a powercut, as long as I don't use the electric shower. The various retired people in my life tend to use 2 - 4kwh /day, the peak draw is the kettle which uses 3kw for a minute or so.
