Can your EV keep your home running?
Start with your vehicle, home, solar, battery, and backup goals. EVSphere turns the confusing mix of V2L, V2H, V2G, chargers, transfer equipment, batteries, and smart panels into a clear energy plan.
How it works
Build My Energy Plan
Answer a few questions and EVSphere will point you toward the right kind of setup before you start buying products.
1. What do you already have?
2. What are you trying to do?
3. What kind of home electrical setup do you have?
4. Which vehicle do you have or plan to buy?
Treat as not approved for V2G/V2H until verified
If the vehicle is not listed, EVSphere should assume it is not approved for home backup or V2G until the exact model year, trim, region, and equipment pathway are verified.

Recommended starting path
Critical Load Backup Plan
Based on: Back up a few important circuits
Your plan should include
Panel-tied backup requires a licensed electrician and approved transfer equipment.
Plan by Vehicle
Click a vehicle to see what it can realistically do, what equipment may be needed, and what to verify before buying.
Ford F-150 Lightning
V2L + home backup capable with correct equipment
Can support portable loads through onboard power, and certain home backup configurations when paired with the correct Ford-compatible home equipment.
Best fit
Likely next steps
Verify before purchase
Trim and equipment packages matter
Whole-home backup is not the same as using onboard outlets
Utility and permitting rules still apply
Compare System Paths
The right answer may be a simple V2L setup, a manual backup path, or a full ecosystem from Tesla, Ford, GM, Enphase, or FranklinWH.
Portable V2L Plan
Small devices, tools, camping, refrigerator by cord only
Do not connect V2L output to a home panel.
Critical Load Backup Plan
Refrigerator, internet, lights, heat controls, sump pump
Panel-tied backup requires a licensed electrician and approved transfer equipment.
Whole Home Energy Plan
Large outages, solar integration, managed loads, future V2H
Whole-home backup needs site-specific design and permitting.

Recommended Options
Each recommendation explains the job it does, who it fits, and what safety line not to cross.
Safety is part of the recommendation
Anything connected to a home electrical panel must be designed and installed by a qualified electrician using code-compliant transfer, disconnect, and islanding equipment.
EVSphere should never recommend unsafe panel connection methods, improvised electrical cords, or unpermitted DIY panel work. V2L is for plug-in loads unless approved transfer equipment is installed.
Track V2G and home backup updates
Vehicle support, charger availability, utility rules, and solar integration options are changing quickly. Get notified when important compatibility updates happen.
