As I recall, that model EcoFlow can take up to 800W total via solar. so... You just need more panels! Be sure to set up two 400W connections, because the unit only accepts 400W per connection.
People are missing the point. With a little expense and a little research you can produce your own power to charge your car. Your setup is too anemic to be useful for daily driving but in a pinch you could get some useful range out of it. Annalysis: Tesla Model Y uses 300w/hr per mile. 100w panel will produce 600w/hr (6 solar hours under ideal conditions). That will give you 2 miles of range per day. Your 4800w/hr battery bank will give 16 miles of range + 4 more from 2x 100w panels. 20 miles is better than no miles, but you are not going to get more than 4 additional miles per day with that setup once the battery is depleted. If you want a useable amount of range. Say 20 miles per day. You are going to need 1000w of panels. You will need to wire your panels in series to produce 24v so the battery's internal charge controller can handle the additional power. It would be gentler on the controller to do a 24v setup anyway even with small panels. For a round trip commute, it would be 2000w. An actual reasonable amount of solar panels to have on site. (4 large 24v house panels.)
Thank you for this detailed analysis. I have no plans in charging my Y with solar as it is not ideal with my current set up. I do have a Tesla Level 2 charger in the garage. Maybe down the road, I would get the Tesla Powerwall with some solar panels on the roof to support it. 😉
Don't plug your battery into the house power to charge it with that ground plug in The house power is already grounded. It might break your battery. Input from your solar is different than the house power.
Exactly. Only one neutral to ground is allowed, or else any of your devices in your house with metal casing would be a risk. In a RV, the charger/inverter have a ground relay that detect the power automatically and shut down automatically the inverter neutral bonding when the rv is connected to a campground shore power. But it is not automatic with these powerstation. Make your grid plug well visible so you know if it is plug or not.
This guy expecting to get "at least 200 watts going into the [200W] panel" is dreaming. 200 watts is in ideal conditions, in a laboratory, set at directly perpendicular to the panel, at 25°C. Your mid afternoon solar intensity is not that high, ambient temperature not optimal, orientation lacking adjustment.
omg.. pls. make some research before talking.. PV after they heat up the power output from them is lower not higher. And the senctence "it is possible to charge a tesla with sun" is misleading. You are not charging from the sun. You are charging from the battery that you charged up before..
bullshit, search for some factual weight data. Big RAMs are roughly the same weight as most EVs. Besides, passenger cars are responsible for road wear in a very minimal way. What mainly damages roads are overloaded semi trucks (plus tires with nails)
@@cfldriven i drive on these roads for 20+ years i know the toad are damaged by ev. It is clearly visible. Everybody here say the same. Anyway the ev won’t work in a very hot/ very cold climate as we have. Don’t take us for idiots. We heard the fact with proof. Battery at 50k the repair in kia is true. Fires on tesla is true with sadly deaths caused by security flaws. Fire station fire caused by ev truck is true as well. Difficulty to extinguished is true. Difficulty to insure ev is true. Not repairable battery is true. No ev. If it was up to me ev would be forbidden

Yes, I only used this ground plug to test this charging. Thanks.
You Need to figure out how to do direct solar to the DC fast charger of your Tesla.

I saw a guy driving around his Tesla and a gas generator in the trunk.
I guess that would also work as a last resort. 😃
Self made hybrid 🙂

I stand corrected. Thank you.

These car battery are too big, require too much energy, too dangerous, toi heavy and start damaging the roads. It is very visible here in Quebec.

You need to do some factual research and not repeat naysayer stories as fact.
Troll alert

Lol😅 bigger vans, trucks and cargo trucks are much heavier!
