A lot of EVs have this built in, some even include V2H so they can backfeed inverted AC to your home via the charger, but it isn’t mentioned anywhere on most product pages (f150 lightning being the worst instance of this; it has a 10kW V2H inverter and there is no mention of that anywhere on its page!)
In the other discussion thread one user noted they even had issues locating a V2H charger at all to purchase, so I guess the manufacturers don’t want to explicitly set up their users for disappointment…
The big problem is V2L/V2H/V2G aren’t a part of the CCS or NACS standards, so each manufacturer is out doing their own thing that doesn’t work with anyone else’s thing. Makes it more expensive (specialized hardware/software), and complicates changes down the road.
