All Tesla vehicles are now capable of bidirectional charging (V2X) thanks to an impressive Powerwall competitor, Sigenergy, which can include a universal bidirectional DC charger.
V2X, or bidirectional charging, is becoming a fairly common feature for electric vehicles.
Whether it’s in a reasonably low capacity to power tools and other equipment on the go (V2X), or with higher capacities to power a home (V2H) or send electricity back into the grid for money (V2G).

As a leader in electric vehicles, Tesla was long seen as being reticent in adopting the technology.
…
And yet, I was surprised to see yesterday a Tesla Model Y send electricity back into a house for the first time.

Sigenergy’s device combines all components into a single, stackable, and expandable system with an incredible user interface.
For a few years now, the industry has had the ISO 15118 international standard for vehicle-to-grid (V2G), and Sigenergy has built a fully certified bidirectional DC charger module that fits with its modular energy storage system.
