Hello 
My EV has the capability of providing Vehicle to Load (V2L), assuming I purchase the adapter. This outputs up to 20A at 120v AC.
I can power AC loads directly from the car in an emergency, but was wondering if there's a way to instead use that output to charge my home's LFP battery bank.
If this was 240v output, I could connect it to the generator input of my inverter. But the inverter can't accept 120v.
Any advice for what would be the inexpensive (but safe, of course) way I can use that AC output to charge the LFP bank?
It doesn't need to be quick, necessarily. Just needs to be possible in an emergency, like an extended power outage with the house batteries already depleted, and terrible solar production.
