V2L V2H for BYDE6 2019 and BYDE6Y 2015

Not sure which category to post this in

I am based in NZ

The BYDE6 2019 and E6Y2015 are ex Singaporean taxi fleet vehicles with 82Kwhr batteries. And E6 2019 is capable of 4.5KW output. No info on E6Y2015 yet.

I have bought the 2015E6Y very cheaply for solar use and maybe I can get it on the road as well and soon to get the later model as well.

Yet to know best solar grid tied 3 phase setup to get. I know I will need to disconnect any sub board supplied by V2L from grid due to batteries not being Grid useable from what I understand.

I have read long great thread article on the more modern BYD alto3 etc and V2L.

Wondering if any experiences of V2L V2H use for the E6.

I noticed BYD had to turn on V2L via a set up at dealer. Has anybody needed to get this done for BYD vehicles?

I also would like to make a V2L adapter cable to achieve 4.5KW capacity! I note someone made one for 3KW . There seems to be a 2.7Kohm resistor required. Some have 2.0K ohm. Not sure if both work and if it changes the output of just a flagging signal to car! What cable do I need to get? It’s only Type 2 AC charge port cable of up to 44Kw 3 phase input to car. Typically 22Kw 3 phase but works on single phase etc. Can I buy a type 2 AC 32A Charge cable with bare ends and put in the 2.7Kohm resistor and fit a plug capable of 4.5KW or? I am in NZ

Note the BYD E6Y 2015 car gives options for single and 3 phase 4.5KW in V2L output . Not been able to check this as it also gives V2H and V2G options not tested. The later model 2019 E6 has not shown more than V2L capability.

I also note use V2L to run a charger input is another way to avoid potential complicated separate circuit interactions but then I would have to get a solar Battery set up that if smaller might get to be a weak point if high cycle change. I am trying to offset solar battery costs with more versatile mobile car battery. Not do both ideally!

Last us that Solax are releasing in August to December hopefully hybrid inverter versions that can take V2L and provide V2H capabilities. This might be a great solution for many people if it is really compatible with any EV having V2L capability.

Any experiences greatly appreciated

Update. 2015EY6 . Tried a Factory BYD atto? V2L loaned cable for V2L test but it didn’t output anything. Search suggested it needs 1k ohn not 2.7k ohm across the 5Volt pilot signal . Tried to add externally but difficult.

Put 1k ohm across pilot to PE and the car reset it 10 mins to connect timer to 10 mins so it seems to register it. Volt meter shows no output on N and L1 or L2 or L3 when in 1 and then 3 phase output options in car setup.

Could the fact the plug is not present stop the output. There doesn’t appear to be a sensing aspect to the plug apart from the pilot ?

Not sure how to test the car output anywhere re it inverter. Don’t have a manual yet! More research. Anyone know if an 2015 EY6 that’s does V2L?

Thanks for any input or ideally output​:grinning_face:
