From Autocar:

This caught my eye:
"Cars will be delivered with a wallbox that is only compatible with the 5 EV, and customers will enter a contract with The Mobility House should they want to use V2G charging. The wallbox will use a standard-issue CCS2 adaptor."
Presumably this dedicated wallbox has additional kit in it to handle safety cut-offs, etc. but a bit inconvenient for those who already have a charger.

Do Autocar ever do more than just blindly reproduce press releases?
What better chemistry will these cars have?
What capacity?
They say the same warranty using V2G or not. What warranty is that?
Quite agree.What better chemistry will these cars have?

It seemed interesting because, afaik, this is the first manufacturer to promote V2G and provide the necessary kit althought there's no mention of installation. 11kW is quite chunky so maybe it requires a specialist? No idea.
