The majority (99%) of people are using regular home grids and or a home grid supplemented by Solar to charge, the key to home DC charging I think is solar direct. Again I think I’m in a unique situation to do this as I’m fully off grid…. The price of DC to DC that I’m looking at is no where near...

WOW Montserrat? Cool place to live…

Noted but the owner told me Tesla supplied them, and it is installed on a Tesla “pole” or “stand”…..

Interesting what’s happening, I followed your suggestion to charge the truck while still topping up my house batteries and obviously running the house load. The truck immediately drew its max of 9.6kw as shown on the app. The house battery charging dropped that same amount and everything in the...

I’ll post the details here when it all pans out….

How about this setup? 😂👌🇲🇽

Not if it’s a DC to DC EV charger designed specifically for solar to EV charging.

Thank you for that answer, that is what I was looking for. Much appreciated. Simultaneously charging is something I have not tried. I will look into it. Now in the summer times I also use about 5- 8kw running the house, I have a few AC running 24/7….. We have clear skies and sun 350 days a year...

Those are the hours my solar panels are sitting idle, I have 47kw on my roof and my house batteries are taken care of between 10-11. (85kw 100% full) I’m also looking into DC charging….

WOW you’re amazing….!

Thank you gentlemen for those responses, curious if the capacity can be increased back up? I am in a unique situation, I am 100% off grid. My house batteries are full by 10am to 11am every day. The Lightning charges only between 11am and 4:30pm…. At 10kw (at best) I am very disappointed. I was...

I know I’m running the risk of being run out of town and shot at dawn for not find the answer to my in a previous discussion. Sorry! Can someone tell me why the older Lightning had a 80a AC charger onboard and why it was reduced to 48a? Simple question, simple answer please.

Made it home safely….! Connected our Ford Pro Charger, to my inverter, batteries and solar network. I’m putting 10.4kw into our truck FOR FREE…! Love it..! Thanks for all the advice and I hope that this was informative if not merely entertaining. The Baja is beautiful and if you’re never going...

Thank you, very interesting. We arrived early enough today at the Hotel that I could connect right away and I will be full by 23:00, I will just plug the second vehicle in and he should be at 100 or close enough by say 9am. But thank you for the info I can just imagine how that could work.

No, is that even possible?
