V2H, or vehicle-to-home, uses smart EV charging and bidirectional (two way) charging to transfer energy stored in the battery of a parked electrical vehicle (EV) to the home for use as a backup power source during outages. The battery in an EV could keep a home or small business running for several days. How does it work?

The benefit of a higher voltage connector has nothing to do with the speed at which the battery will charge it has to do with the conductor size.

The three leading new options to re-supply our autos with energy are charging at home, battery swap stations and fast charge stations. The method that should seem most natural is charging at home. If cost is an important consideration, than charging your EV at home is a no-brainer as it cuts out any profit-hungry middlemen.
