The LEAF does allow power out via CHAdeMO, but I have not fully fleshed out how it all works. Nissan sells the LEAF-to-home kit in japan that is a bi-directional CHAdeMO charger that can also go off-grid and allow "islanding" so you can have backup power for your home.

At this point we know that the car allows net power out of the battery pack
while AC "charging", for example to run the heater to pre-heat the car.
However, when using the QC port, it "appears" that the car monitors the
current, and it is not clear that the car will allow net current out.
Since we do not have access to the power-out process that examine it,
we can not confirm that the car supports operation as a backup
power source. The manual appears to forbid such use, but that
condition might not be enforceable?
