The H1st Vision also has vehicle-to-grid charging capability that allows it to power external objects, including homes, during blackouts. An autonomous energy management system controls the car's electricity usage, charging the battery during periods of low demand and lower prices, while powering the home during peak-rate periods. Charging is facilitated through the Mobilise PowerBox, which offers various AC charging station options and can be controlled remotely using a smartphone app.
