Vehicle-to-Grid finally! Cybertruck approved for residential V2G program with PG&E (California)!

Nope. At some point, the battery cycles will need to be included in the sale of a BEV. A potential buyer of a used V2G 55k mileage vehicle could have nearly dead battery because the original owner used the vehicle everyday to make arbitrage profit. (So the depreciation of the vehicle would / should tank greater than one’s per kW profit.)
Am I wrong?

Agreed, this is the biggest ager of a tesla, charging cycles.

Made my way through most of the application until I found PGE wants to charge $800 for an interconnect fee. Forget that, they can come begging and do it for free when they are running out of electricity and need me.

PGE only activates this maybe 10-15 times a year on hot days only, it's not every day, so you can think of it as another 2500-3500 miles a year in energy.

You could likely make $500-1000 a year
