      https://www.solarquotes.com.au/blog/redearth-bidirectional-chargers-mb3054/

      Was interested in this one as

      Through a partnership agreement with ambibox, RedEarth will produce the devices from its facility at Darra in Brisbane’s south-west suburbs – the first company to manufacture (assemble?) bi-directional chargers locally.

      But have to see how it compares

      The Ambibox DC Wallbox is a flexible bidirectional charger supporting both V2G and V2H applications. It offers up to 22kW of charging power. It has even been used in experimental setups to enable bidirectional charging in vehicles not originally designed for it—such as the Tesla Model Y. It’s ideal for both residential and commercial use.

      This is interesting

      The Ambibox unit has been able to successfully discharge energy from several EV models during testing:

      Tesla Model Y BYD Atto 3 Polestar 2 Volvo EX30

      Got an EV too - 85kw’ish of battery ready to roll.

      Would love to soak it up over peak period, then recharge it overnight at off peak rates. Doing that alone would be a big saving.
