My stopgap solution :) https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/how-to-use-your-rivian-as-a-power-bank-safe-way.56535/

Basically the same idea :) In my case, at 48v I couldn't use it with my inverter which has a Start Voltage of 90V but a range that goes from 70-600V. So I need to be at ~100V DC to be on the safe side. Also, higher voltage allows me for smaller gauge wire but it wasn't a real problem in this...

This ☝ Hence why I kept my power below 1300w at all times during these tests. I don't want to be nowhere close to the 1500w limit

Definitely an expensive test :)

My R1T's fuse blew. I was using it with my Shop Vac (I always use them to clean the truck), so I wouldn't trust that 'soft fuse' as much... So be careful.

Yup, that's an easy test to do and in fact, I did exactly that. The EcoFlow has a setting in the app that says "GFCI/RCD Support" that you MUST check in order for the charger to be able to operate properly (ground bonding). I used a 3-pron high amp 120v adapter connected to the output of the...

The EcoFlow does the same thing, BUT, there's a big CAVEAT that I mentioned in the video. I'm not sure if the Bluetti Apex 300 does the same thing, but I'm willing to bet that it does. Normally when you connect a 240v output and plug a 120v input at the same time, the unit enters in "UPS mode"...

Wonder which part is incorrect? I did make some assumptions before making my statements, but just to cover the vast majority of installations. i.e.: Most Solar installs feed into the grid, so as soon as power goes out, the inverter stops converting PV input for safety. If it's a fully off-grid...

I would then run anything between 100-110v DC to have some marging and you should be great.

If/when an Official V2L is released, I have like 3 different ways to input that power to my house, I can even add it as an extra 'inverter' and use it for peak-shaving during the day (basically I'm doing that today with the 25 kWh LFP bank that I have, I would just add Rivian's battery as part...

I'm still dreaming about V2H... Some day 😉 But yeah, Going DC 'solar' from the Rivian provides a lot of flexibility. You can use Delta Pros or Ultras, Bluetti, Anker... Basically any unit in the market will support DC in while maxing the 240v output. Works perfectly 😊

My advise is to go as high as possible for DC voltage. If your unit can take 100-110v,aim for that voltage. I was about to pull the plug in another DC PSU but it wasn't adjustable (110v DC and. 1500w) and good thing I didn't since depending the load, above 1000w it gets twitchy.

As many discussed and some showed in their setups, this is safe and works. I'm showing two options available for my case. TL;DW: Rivian connected to a DC Power Supply, then you can de-couple the input to something from the A/C output of that something. - My case #1: Rivian >> DC Power Supply...

So cool!!!

Definitely NOT normal, unless there are some extreme situations that applies to your use-case (i.e.: consistently parking it outside your home-area with GearGuard Enabled for Days and days at a time without L2 charging, or something like that).

Interesting software bug, definitely. Keep us posted! Normally that counter will subtract regen from the consumed, so it will tell you NET kWh.

The worst thing is that you might actually think that you're funny :) IF you prove me you're the Owner of this site (RivianForums), I would gladly want to read that the fee you created it's within the Terms&Conditions I've accepted and if that's the case, I tell you what, I pay you 10x your...

Just two things (cents) here: 1) Rivian Roamer is the best :) 2) The Activity graph definitely looks nice and normal. So probably just bad Rivian math?

Congratulations for not liking the rules. My advise would be to build your own charging network and put whatever rules you want. 2nd Advise if you arrive near empty late at night at a location would be to go, charge for 5 or 10 mins, unplug, go to sleep. Wake up, plug in while you get...
