<![CDATA[Anyone joining the BYD Bi-Directional V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) home battery trials in Australia & the UK?]]>With bi-directional V2G chargers finally approved under AS/NZS 4777.2 in Australia and Octopus tariffs in the UK, our 60–82 kWh BYD Blade Battery packs can officially act as giant home backup and grid-trading batteries:

Anyone joining the BYD Bi-Directional V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) home battery trials in Australia & the UK?

1. Key Highlights & What Stood Out to Me

Following regulatory approval of bi-directional residential EV chargers in Australia (AS/NZS 4777.2 V2G) and UK Octopus Power Pack tariffs, BYD has validated native V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) and V2H (Vehicle-to-Home) bi-directional protocols across its Blade Battery lineup:

  • 60–82 kWh Mobile Home Battery: A single BYD Atto 3, Seal, or Sealion 7 holds 5x to 6x the capacity of a Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5 kWh).
  • Charge at 0c–8c/kWh off midday solar or overnight EV tariffs, and power your house (or export back to the grid during evening peak spikes) automatically!

2. Closer Look at the Specs & Hardware Packaging

Technical Parameter Official BYD Specification & Benchmark
Vehicle Architecture e-Platform 3.0 with Structural LFP Blade Battery Pack
Cycle Longevity 3,000 to 4,000+ Full Charge Cycles (>93% SOH at 120,000 km)
Bi-Directional Power 3.3 kW V2L Standard + Native V2G / V2H Grid Support
Warranty Coverage 6-Year / 150,000 km Vehicle & 8-Year Blade Battery Warranty

3. Would You Use Your BYD as a Home Battery Overnight?

Since LFP Blade cells are rated for 3,000–4,000+ cycles, exporting 8–10 kWh during evening peak tariffs and refilling for free off midday solar could wipe out your entire electricity bill. Who's signing up?

I checked the service manual torque specs and fuse layout over the weekend and everything matches what you outlined here.

Dealers rarely explain this clearly during handover, so having verified owner telemetry on the forum saves everyone a lot of guesswork.

Has anyone here compared this behaviour before and after the latest DiLink OTA firmware update? Mine felt noticeably smoother in low-speed traffic afterwards.
