Summary
Details

Transform the car in your driveway into the quietest, cleanest whole-house generator on the block. In Drive-Thru Power, electrical engineer Marcus Ridgeway turns confusing V2L/V2H tech into weekend-level DIY:

Plain-English schematics for wiring any bidirectional-ready EV (Ford, Hyundai, Kia, Rivian, Nissan, BYD, more) to a transfer switch or gateway panel. Tool & parts lists with SKU-level shopping links and cost ranges from $800 to $4 k. Step-by-step breaker-box walkthroughs-load calculation charts, grounding rules, code references, permit tips. Blackout playbooks: run a fridge 60 hrs, heat pump 12 hrs, or lights/Wi-Fi indefinitely with solar top-ups. Peak-shave schedules that cut utility bills up to 40 %. Troubleshooting flow-charts, safety checklists, and a ""Yes, you can still fast-charge"" myth-buster.

Whether you're prepping for hurricanes, grid-price spikes, or just want energy independence, this guide hands you the wiring diagrams, settings, and confidence to turn driving miles into home megawatts-no Tesla Powerwall required.
