EG4 ChargeVerter Availability

[fwunder]

I think I read somewhere that when victron and eg4 hook up. They have a renogy baby.

Ohhh Nooo!! I already have three of those little bratty kids locked in a closet somewhere!!

Ahhh. Love it when a plan ( puzzle ) finally comes together! Will be doing F150 Powerboost 7.2 kW => Chargeverter tests shortly. Thanks CC!

Harbor Freight!! My fat ass busted the hydraulics so I just locked it at a height I could still get up from. Too hard to get up from crawling on floor.

Looks like 2850W on each leg so 240V.

Kinda cool watching truck filling power tank instead of the other way around.

This is a hybrid, not lightning. I tow so lightning made no sense. This thing is a beast!

Yeah the lightnings used values have absolutely tanked maybe next gen with a 200kWh big boy battery like the Chevy

Still shocked the others haven't added the generator ( inverter ) option. It was a game changer for me camping and now, powering the house/recharging.

A little slower charging than I thought it might be, but not complaining.

I wish Tesla would do someething so that the existing models could make at least limited V to Home use of the batteries. Not likely though.

Almost filled up. Looks like just over one a gallon of gas for another 24 hours. More tests to go.

The new Ramcharger looks promising too. I do alot of towing back and forth to camp about 125m/200km I am very interested in this new truck.

I'll plug in OBDlink tomorrow, for more accuracy. Right now, I'm using FordPass and "Fuel Level". I started @ 61% 367 Miles left. Now @ 57% 344 Miles left. So with my 30 gallon tank, that's about 23 miles or just over a gallon of gas. Not super accurate, but not too bad.

Does it have on board generator? That is what sold me on the F150.

The v6 Pentastar is one big generator. Check out some Youtube vids especially the talk with the systems engineer

Ahhh, so it does have the 7.2 kW on board generator like Ford has had since 2021. Cool. I have really enjoyed mine.
