For homeowners considering V2G today, the practical takeaway is that no single vendor yet offers a turnkey “plug and forget” system. CleanTechnica’s March 2026 “Unlocking Vehicle-to-Grid at Scale” piece notes that interoperability testing between the three major charger protocols (CCS, CHAdeMO, and the emerging ISO 15118-20) remains incomplete — a gap that could delay the €100 billion scenario by at least two years.
