FYI, that's a converter/charger, not an inverter. Inverters are DC to AC.

I agree 200% from an engineering viewpoint. From a layman viewpoint these days, the term "inverter" has become genericized to mean any voltage converter, sort of like "Kleenex" vs "tissue" . Not saying it's correct, but it is what it is....

Ok so I also have this problem. Interestingly, I get the flickering on my house LEDs even when I just plug into the Rivian and manually stop the charging (so it's drawing zero current) which is both interesting and I hope telling to anyone who might understand the physics of it better than I...

My 2 cents.
