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:
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?
