CCS vehicles manufactured in 2022 or later will have DC Bi-directional charging capabilities.
Will this be the case for Rivian?
Once CCS standards are formally revised, bi-directional chargers can utilize EVs for home battery backup. The Rivian with 130kW and bidirectional charger are cheaper as a battery backup than 10 Tesla batteries at $90K for 130kW.
In short you get battery back-up and you can drive for less money than batteries. The one drawback is kW/hr through put is less with bi-directional charging, so maybe the Tesla batteries are fairly priced.
