I wouldn’t want to have a dead car in the morning if the power went out and it’s trying to power the house.
I’d assume you set it up in a way where you have to actively switch the direction to avoid this - would be a pretty big oversight if they haven’t thought of that before bringing these things to market
I think we would need like 12 Powerwalls to power our house during the summer for 1 day. Air conditioning sucks the power up.
I guess that part is going to depend hugely on location - I’m in New England and have whole home AC but I don’t think I get above 35kWh/day in peak summer. Seems like the Lightning would be a pretty ideal backup solution in my case; extended range battery holds 131kWh, so theoretically I could run off that for almost 4 days if it could supply enough current to keep everything running.
