en.Wedoany.com Reported - Honda Access, the accessories subsidiary of Honda, announced its V2H charging/discharging device (Honda V2H Stand) on May 21, priced at 1.1 million yen, with a planned market launch in late June.

The device enables the discharge of electricity from an electric vehicle (EV) battery to a home, realizing Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) functionality. During power outages, the EV can serve as an emergency power source, and it can also discharge power on demand during peak household electricity usage periods.

When charging an EV, the fast-charging port supports a maximum output of 5.9kW, reducing charging time by approximately half compared to standard 3kW output chargers. Using 5.9kW charging may require a reassessment of the electricity contract, but even without changing the contract, the device will automatically adjust the charging amount to prevent the circuit breaker from tripping.

When combined with solar power generation, surplus household electricity can be stored in the EV and discharged to the home, while also being usable for EV charging, contributing to electricity cost savings.

The device dimensions are 426×1183×300mm (width×height×depth), with a cable length of approximately 7.5m. It features a slim, self-standing body with an integrated connector cable, allowing for space-saving installation in various parking environments. By linking with a dedicated V2H smartphone app, remote operation and status confirmation are possible from locations away from home.

Supported models include the BEV sports model "Super-ONE" launched on May 22, as well as major EV models previously sold by Honda Motor, such as the "N-ONE e:", "N-VAN e:", and "Honda e". The main unit warranty period is set at 10 years.

Honda Access had previously launched a "Charging Indicator" that confirms charge level and status via LED illumination, and a "Standard Charger (Honda EV Charger)". The addition of this V2H charging/discharging device aims to support a smart charging environment for enjoying EV life with greater peace of mind.
