I think between $4-5K, plus $1-2K for the Black-Out option (probably for the transfer switch etc...). The web site is not really user friendly, yet. But here's a link to their June Faq: https://www.ossiaco.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/dcbel-by-Ossiaco-FAQ-v1.1.pdf I also find this blurb on solar-P...

they seem only to come on upon pushing lock/unlock on the key fob, sort of like to provide lighting for loading

It's coming soon, the FAQ says that current CCS can't support bi-direction but next generation will.

Solar PV inverter/charger V2G:

there has been a few 2017 for sale around 100Kmiles, pricing around $15K. Essentially no more pack warranty.

Am very tempted. We have 2x, both almost 70Kmiles. It's the best $/range-emile out there, and with decent Thermal Management System

thoughts ?

1. get a Premier if you can, otherwise definitely DCFC option. DCFC allows out of town trips

2. a hitch for bikes & extra carrying capacity. Get the #200-lbs one, not the #100-lbs offered by dealer

also keep in mind that the range number is a "guess", an estimate of range based on past driving condition (hills, speed, temperature, AC/heat usage, hard acceleration etc....). I've learned to rely more on the number of bars on the gauge rather than the miles

I've experienced AutoBraking in our 2017 Premium. It seems to correlate with speed of the closing gap/distance, and just before I would have brake hard as well. It also seems to be independent of the separating distance setting. Glad to know there's another set of "eyes". Our LT doesn't ha...

A better path may be to use a solar string inverter they are used for series strings of panels they usually work in the 200 - 600 volt dc input and can therefore run directly from the HV battery and come in many output and wattage configurations. ;) yes I've thought about doing exactly that. Has it...

on the topic of personal CO2 footprint accounting, it is surprising how much of an impact one can do, similar to Oilerlord's situation. I use a rough percentage for a typical US American, our footprint is roughly 34% vehicles, 33% residence and 33% the remainder (air travel, food, work offices ....)...

These units will never be as cheap as home rates unless... yes and no, it's relative. There are a number of variables to consider, but only if you are "obsessive", like yours truly. 1. Because the rate is per minute and the charge rate depends on the pack SOC. Typically, the charge rate i...
