WETOX D2 Earns World's First Next-Gen V2X Certification From SGS
The certification enables millions of Teslas and Ford Mach-E models to serve as mobile backup power sources via vehicle-to-load technology.
WETOX D2 has received what is being called the world's first Next-Gen V2X certification from SGS, a development that could allow millions of existing Teslas and Ford Mustang Mach-E vehicles to function as mobile backup power stations.
What Happened
The WETOX D2 device obtained Next-Gen V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) certification from SGS, the testing and inspection company. The certification enables bidirectional charging capabilities for compatible electric vehicles, allowing them to discharge power through the vehicle's charge port. This effectively transforms eligible Teslas and Ford Mach-E models into portable power stations capable of powering external devices and appliances.
Why It Matters
For EV owners, V2X capability represents a significant shift in how vehicles can be utilized beyond transportation. During power outages or emergencies, certified vehicles could supply electricity to homes or essential devices. The technology also opens doors for commercial applications where fleet operators could leverage stored vehicle energy for grid services or remote power needs. With millions of compatible Teslas and Mach-Es already on the road, the certification addresses a key barrier: regulatory approval for bidirectional charging in these popular models.
The Bottom Line
SGS's certification of the WETOX D2 marks what appears to be the first Next-Gen V2X approval targeting Tesla and Ford Mach-E platforms. Owners of compatible vehicles should verify their model's eligibility and local regulations before using vehicle-to-load functionality, as feature availability may vary by region and model year.
