Hi--
First post. I have a house I'm doing remodel and ended up all electric since the cost of adding a natural gas connection was cost prohibitive.
I have replaced the house's electrical service, added two 200A panels and have a simply 50A interlock to the dwelling panel for emergencies. I'm not worried about losing power and have automatic roll-over, I only get irritated if we lose power for more than 12 hours and may start to impact the fridge and freezer contents. I have a 7600W inverter generator that I can connect to get the critical circuited powered if needed and that plenty of power to run the backup heat, two pellet stoves.
I'm now in the market for EV, but would like a power port that supports 240V 30A. The only choices seem to the Ford F-150 lightning (option) and the Tesla Cybertruck. Rumor has it the Rivian R2 will have support for 240V, but who knows.
The EV options would broaden if there was a device that could plug into the EV charge port and connect to the battery pack and invert the pack voltage to 240V split-phase. However, I've seen the cheapo devices on Amazon that allow a vehicles like the iconiq to provide a NEMA plug, but all I've found is 120V version.
Has anyone heard of the inverter that is capable to connecting to a bi-direction J1772 or NACS charge port? I'm not looking for a portable device. I would be happyif it was wall mounted and just provided the 240V needed to key the house functional for long power outages, courtesy of the EV battery pack.
Thanks,
