Mach-E V2H

[Budmen]

Forgive me if this has been asked/answered already, but is Bi-Directional V2H coming to the Mach-E? A website from a company called Nuwatt energy says that it is by an OTA update sometime this year, but I haven't seen that anywhere else. I just got solar and I'm thinking about battery backup BESS, but a Mach-E V2H solution would generally make that unnecessary.

I would love to see one, but that only thing I have seen recently is a V2L solution in the newer 2026 units.

Knew about that one, but that did not match the OP.
Also, that did not require any updates to work.

There is no official V2H capability with the Mach-E and I haven’t heard about any updates to allow that.

Even if there were, it would probably be a proprietary solution like what they used on the Lightning as there is no universally adopted standard for V2H/V2G yet.

All I see on NuWatt Energy's site is that they install L2 EVSEs from several well-known brands. The only currently working solution is the Sigenergy EVSE/Inverter/Battery Storage system. It takes advantage of an undocumented feature in the MME's charging logic that allows the contactors to close when some circumstances are met. Ford *could* "fix" this at any time with an OTA update.

That said, there is some movement in trying to create a standard for just this thing. Nobody I know has heard much out of committee regarding this.

Apparently, the Mach-E meets the requirements for high-voltage V2X. Ford built it this way, but does not officially support it. There is a company that makes a V2L adapter for Tesla and "other" brands. I am trying to get them to send me one for review and promotional purposes. I would love to take it around to Ford/Mach-E rallies and put on demonstrations. I'll keep you all posted if the company agrees to work with me.
