Was reading on the Renault Zoe subreddit about fitting an Inverter because this Car has No V2L, and i thought about that in the past but never did it because why throw Money at Something where i can’t think of usecases other than ‘it would be neat’. So to the people who have V2L, what are you using it for?

    That tankless is a power suck. Even worse, mine is a 240v. A conventional water heater is probably better in an emergency because it will hold the heat like a “battery” itself. That’s the only “regret” I have in going with one.

    But down here in SWFL, it’s kind of moot. The power goes off, the water goes out too.

      Mine is gas, but still needs power for the igniter and the fan. It is a lot more efficient than constantly keeping a tank of water hot, and it never runs out.

        My bad for assuming heat source. I’m “all electric”: stove, clothes dryer, water heater, AC (so technically “heater” too). Without solar (condo board won’t allow), I can’t run my whole house. Even with solar, I’d probably need stationary batteries too.
