V2X — Can Your Electric Vehicle Become a Battery?

Your electric vehicle sits in the driveway most of the time. What if that battery on four wheels could power your home, ease grid demand during peak hours, or even charge another vehicle?

That's exactly what V2X — vehicle to everything — makes possible. It's a family of bidirectional technologies still in its early days in Quebec, but gaining momentum fast. In this episode, Floréal sits down with Sébastien Pothier, entrepreneur and specialist in building and parking electrification, to break it all down.

They start from the basics — V2H (home), V2B (commercial building), V2G (grid), V2V (vehicle to vehicle) — and work through the concrete realities of the Quebec market. An honest, ground-level conversation.

In this episode ☀️

• V2H, V2B, V2G, V2V: the differences explained simply
• What equipment you actually need to get started (certified charger, hybrid inverter, smart panel)
• The Quebec reality: standards, Hydro-Québec approvals
• Which vehicles are compatible today (Nissan Leaf, Ford Lightning, Tesla Cybertruck…) and why many are still software-locked
• Available subsidies — provincial and federal — and what's still under review
• Global comparison: China, Japan, Europe vs Quebec
• Barriers to adoption and the early adopter profile
• Practical advice for anyone ready to take the leap
