I asked Slate about V2L, V2H, and V2G.

That would be useful and likely less expensive than including a receptacle with its own inverter.

Those V2L NACS adapters have their own inverter, so the internal vehicle components just need to output DC voltage to the adapter. The onboard charger is a rectifier, not an inverter, so it wouldn't be involved.

I'm guessing the truck's onboard DC/DC converter would output whatever the adapter expects to see.

They use the onboard charger, effectively operating in reverse. It's something inherently supported in the J3400 protocol, but needs to be supported on the vehicle end too.
