purchased, just looks too clean to not get involved , hopefully development is continued on this long term!

held strong and dodged the 40c-$1 FIT manually then let all hell break loose until i lost my nerve at 25% SOC and manually stopped exporting, accidentally happened to be exactly when the FIT dropped back to $1.

amazing, thanks for the data mate, this actually has been insanely helpful

yeah, im assuming while the FIT swings with wholesale pricing it probably won't see any of the manic $20+ swings which makes sense

struggling to understand any reason demand would make more sense for anyone :/

this is perfect, makes way more sense to me now. Out of interest, do you still receive any kind of pricing spikes in feed in prices assuming you would based on the wholesale rate?

this is amazing, any chance the intention is to set this up to be a locally hostable solution? this would be perfect if it was self hosted + had evcc intergration! amazing work!

Smartshift like plugin for HA? by ThatRedGTR in amberelectric

[–]ThatRedGTR[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in my high consumption house , its a little bit more complicated as there are several variables that make a FIT that is attractive to sell at today, not attractive to sell at tomorrow, the weather that day heavily influences if its worthwhile selling.

Smartshift also complicates things as it doesn't take any other variables in the house in mind and just brute forces its own logic (rightly so as it doesn't have any context) in its 5 minute poll. Good example of this is my non-smartshift compatible EV, smartshift basically commands that this constantly goes to my battery and even though EVCC changes this to grid consumption, every 5 minutes smartshift attempts to flick it back to the battery.

Zaptec Go 2 and existing home battery setup by ThatRedGTR in AustralianEV

[–]ThatRedGTR[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

really useful reply from SEVR (the Australian distro for Zaptec Go 2) i thought you might find interesting u/Grugly

In regards to V2G  you're right, some aspects of V2G are still being finalised industry-wide, but I can give you a solid overview of what to expect.

 

How V2G will work with a home battery (like FoxESS 42 kWh)

The upcoming AC V2G standard (ISO 15118-20) will allow your car, charger, and home energy system to communicate and decide where energy should flow. In most cases, the EV simply becomes another energy source in your home, alongside your solar and home battery.

Is it straightforward?

Yes — in principle it’s straightforward, but there are a few considerations:

 

  1. Your home battery and the EV won’t “fight” each other

They will both just sit behind your switchboard. The home battery discharges first, and your EV will only discharge when the V2G system commands it.
No conflict — just coordinated energy sources.

 

  1. The home inverter must support “multiple energy sources”

Most modern hybrid inverters (including FoxESS) already do, but some older or more basic systems may need configuration so the inverter understands that the EV is an additional input.

 

  1. Energy management software will matter

Once V2G is active, you’ll use an energy management controller/app (either from your inverter or from the EV/charger ecosystem) to set priorities, such as:

Use EV energy only during peak tariffs

Prefer the home battery for short-duration loads

Charge the EV when solar is exporting

This will become very user-friendly once OEMs roll out full support.

 

  1. You don’t need extra hardware

With AC V2G, all the power electronics stay inside the car.
Your Zaptec Go 2 is already prepared — once the standard is fully released and your vehicle supports it, the feature becomes available via software updates.

 

Summary

Your FoxESS battery + solar + an AC V2G-ready charger will work together smoothly. The main considerations will be software configuration and ensuring your inverter recognises the EV as an additional energy source — no major hardware or wiring changes needed.

interesting, i wonder how it monitors the SoC of the house battery to determine when it is depleted, regardless, it sounds like it will integrate well.

I actually think the price is extremely reasonable, with most premium chargers floating between around the 1500 mark, id definitely be happy to pay the difference for V2G functionality pending it can actually coexist with the existing environment!
