There's already charging products that work seamlessly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0WGl_U5azs and you have 100kWh of capacity, so you could sit out an outage for a long time. You can also configure the % cut off for the EV, so you still have enough left to drive if you need to leave.
EV battery degradation from this use case is irrelevant. EVs are consistently hitting 300,000 miles with 90% capacity, so let's not belabor this point.

Nope.
The thing about the EcoFlow Stream is that has things like phase alignment which allows it to be plugged directly into a household outlet without transfer switches to segregate grid phase from the phase of power created by the V2X inverter's phase. It also handles solar input.
I suppose that future V2X systems will incorporate direct plug-in tech, but note the transfer switch used by the system in the video.
