The Mobility House and Wallbox Install First Residential V2G Charger in San Diego County
The Mobility House North America and Wallbox have successfully installed and interconnected a bidirectional charging system in a San Diego County home, marking a significant milestone for vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology in the United States. The setup features a Kia EV9 paired with a Quasar 2 charger, enabling the electric vehicle to not only draw power but also export energy back to the grid. This achievement represents the first residential bidirectional charger interconnected in the county, overcoming regulatory hurdles such as utility interconnection approvals. Announced at the ACT Expo 2026, this development highlights efforts to commercialize vehicle-to-everything (V2X) services. Dylan Gasperik from The Mobility House emphasized that EVs can strengthen the nation's straining energy grid rather than weaken it. The project serves as a pilot for broader adoption of bidirectional charging in residential settings, demonstrating how integrated utility programs and advanced hardware can unlock the value of V2G technology for homeowners and the wider energy infrastructure.
