- WETOX earned the world's first ISO 15118-20 Next-Gen V2X certification report from SGS, a milestone the company positions as key to standardizing V2X communication at commercial scale beyond today's ISO 15118-2 ceiling.
- WETOX is crowdfunding the D2 on Kickstarter with NACS, CCS1, and CCS2 variants, having surpassed $120,000 in pledges with the campaign running through August 30.
- WETOX demonstrated the D2 in a 13-hour uncut stress test pulling up to 3,600W from 93% down to 19% battery, claiming it runs as much as 40% more efficiently than competing V2L adapters.
- The D2 unlocks portable V2L power for Tesla Model S, 3, X, Y and Ford Mustang Mach-E vehicles — models that did not ship with native bidirectional charging — via the cars' existing charge ports.
- WETOX engineered its own low-level code for the ISO 15118 and DIN 70121 protocol stacks instead of buying off-the-shelf SECC modules, and plans to expand to a new compatible EV model each quarter via OTA updates.
- The D2 carries an IPX5 rating across the connector and main unit (IPX6 on a 10-ft extension power strip) and ships with a global insurance plan that explicitly covers warranty voiding for the connected EV.
Why it matters: The D2 targets an untapped install base of millions of existing Teslas and Mach-Es that shipped without factory bidirectional charging, with WETOX's ISO 15118-20 cert and 40% efficiency claim positioning it ahead of rivals in next-gen V2X standardization. The battery-heating bypass and warranty-protecting insurance directly address the two biggest objections that have stalled third-party V2L adoption.
