MG ZS EV Vehicle to Load and Extension Cables

Taking it to the next step. Could you not do away with the batteries and just get a (cheapish) second hand EV with V2L? It gives you the flexibility of having an extra car that you can use and sell as the market (and battery technology) moves on? Better to have 60kw+ for £20,000 that you can sell on and use as a car than £10,000 for 10 kw battery that cannot be exchanged so easily?

I kept looking at an old Nissan for that idea - I would do that but there is no way I would be "authorised" by my other half. The battery capacity at £300/kwH would be the valuation I would put on the value of the residual battery.

I was going to do a home battery system diy using old Leaf batteries myself, but when you can get new dedicated 9.5kWh battery and inverter from GivEnergy for under £5k then I just went with that.
