Question for the electrical folk

I've been thinking about ways to use my EV (which has vehicle to load capability at 15 amp) as a household battery. The V2L connector has a female three-pin plug connection.

Is there a solution where I could get an electrician to install an outdoor cord that would feed power into my fusebox, so I could run one or more circuits off the car at night?

Yeah, it's easy enough to do for them. Houses that run generators do it. My dad (an electrician) has had it set up on their house for as long as I remember.
The only issue is that it will likely only be able to be placed in the meter board.
