Not a Gen 1 Mobile Charger. My 2014 Model S came with a Gen 1 charger that could deliver 40 amps at 240 volts or 9.6 kW. It is possible to manually lower the current draw of the Tesla from the charge screen in the car. If you lowered maximum amps to 8 the Jackery would likely do just fine. When I would plug my Tesla into marginally wired outlets the car would sense a voltage drop at such outlets and drop the amp draw from 12 to 10 or even 8 amps to keep the voltage above 108.
Dude, your charger can set at different amperages. I normally charge mine through the 120v house outlet at 11amps. I often adjust it down, even as low as 5 amps, depends on the time it would take to charge mine to 85%. That's because when I'm sleeping I don't give a you know what how long it takes to charge. As long as I wake up and have 85%, then who cares... But I digress. Lol Anyway, this how you calculate wattage. Take 120v X 30amps = 3600watts Then you had two power legs, then times 2 requires to 7200 Watts. That's what you saw on your power meter. So back to your solar power. You were getting 1275+ Watts on your Jackery because you most likely was setting your Tesla to charge at 11 amps through 120v. 120v X 11 amps=1320 Watts. Lower it done to 8 amps or less. At 8 amps you should get around 3-4 miles per hour of charge. Not bad for a crisis situation. That's 36 to 48 miles in a 12 hour sunny day. Not bad at all...
Eww... While I totally agree with your advice to throttle the absorption to 8 amps, I can not concur with the rest. Forget about 36 miles in a sunny day, with a 100W panel: more likely, 3mi. You will drain the 1kWh capacity of the e1000 in less than an hour, then you are left with just a trickle charge.
@@nightsurfer1 Yes, you can. At most 2 of them, on the e1000: which gives you 200W peak, under optimal conditions. The hard limit is set by the internal mppt of the Jackery. With that setup, 36mi of range extension in one day remains wishful thinking.
tried this today on my Model 3 performance 2019 UK. With Jackery 1000 on 100% was able to dump it all into the tesla. Went from 69% (194 miles) to 70%. (196 miles). Brought the amps down to 5 on the tesla , jackery was outputting around a steady 1132w.
I plugged my 1000 W microwave into a surge protector and melted it. That can't be the solution. The Jackery wasn't designed to output that kind of Amps. Thank you for showing me the Sungzu I was going to buy probably won't cut it either. FYI someone tested the Yeti on a BMW about 5 years ago and they got 8 miles. The Yeti was 3000 Watts.
this is amazing. it's a game changer for off road camping with ev suv/trucks. i just wonder if such jackery hardware built in to the ev so the owners plug in solar panels as much as they can
The jackery 1000 only has a 1030 watthour battery at most you will get is 1 to 2 mile charge. What’s the point. a Tesla uses 540 watthour per mile. Show the jackery for what it was made for a power outage or cooking/lighting up a camp area.
There are 3 LED s on the AC adaptor that comes with the car. Power on, charging and fault LED. One of the fault is the ground problem. With the off grid solar system the ground is virtual, or floating. The adaptor requires real ground. How do you solve this?
I watch 2 videos of different solar generators , 10 seconds down this video I immediately saw all the problems they were gonna have . I’m no expert but this is too easy . The jackery sucks get something bigger .
Remember when engineers would just run calculations before jumping into an experiment. The jackery clearly cant output as many watts. But of course, that wouldnt get youtube views. Gotta plug the thing.
The miles left is just an estimate and doesn't include you climbing up and down hills, have the A/C or heater on and doesn't account the speed of depressing the speed petal. What do you call a fuel petal in the Tesla?.... lol

carrying somuch equipment to charge your car does not seem convenient it adds more expense and luggage ... soon there will be more charging stations .... and its economical ... going to charging stations is a smart move ...
Agreed, no one is going to carry around a battery to routinely charge the car. This was just asking the question "could you" and the answer they came to was actually incorrect - you absolutely could use a Jackery 1000 to add a *very very small* amount of power to the car over the course of an hour or so - maybe enough to get you 4 miles, 5 if you drive really slowly and hypermile the heck out of it. It's not something anyone is ever going to take seriously, but if you carry the pack with you for camping or as a job site generator, sure, you have a way to get a few miles on board if you get caught short. You just have to go into the car and tell it to stop drawing more than the battery pack can supply. Toggle the Amp limit down to 8A and a 1kW inverter could keep up easily. Or you get a different Jackery (or other battery) capable of more than 1500W sustained and it'll handle the full 12A that the Tesla can draw at 120V on a regular 120V plug. Then you get a huge (/sarcasm) 6 miles per hour, maybe 8 if you drive really carefully to the charging station.
here, and without any tests, it was clear that he would not charge it... it is enough to count how many watt-hours are in it, and in the car. Kindergarten
Big fan of Elon TBH, we think the same about almost everything. However, as I consider buying a Tesla for the first time, I have to admit, most Tesla owners seem to be either like NPC’s from a Bethesda game, or just a little off. I haven’t seen any Tesla owners online or in person that I “vibe” with. Really making it hard to buy one 😅 I’m literally only here for the .99% financing, but the Model Y rides like trash and the lumbar mechanism is garbage, so it’s one of the least comfortable vehicles I’ve ever been in.
1000W is the running limit. 1250W? is the surge limit or so. Most inverters have a surge amount for starting motors and heavy loads. Anywhere from a few seconds to a minute and the time out kills the output if the surge doesn't end. It can deliver the 1kw and its safety systems worked perfect. Score one for the Jackery but it still lost the Tesla challenge. It tried with its all its might. After the motor surge ends, the operating watts will drop to under the limit in a well paired set up. You might give a sterner warning about the danger of the grounding trick with the plug end. You could have least put a wire nut on it. You might have fried some inverters by putting a 8000W load on them.
I see lots of people on youtube building home made free energy using dc motors with an ac converter and i wondering if a generator could be made strong enought to handle the tesler charge and i f the generator can be installed directly in the trunk or front hood of the care.
The thought process there being that you could harvest wind energy from driving your car to make electricity to power the car / charge the battery. The problem with doing this is that the added drag on the car from capturing the wind energy will be so bad that the engine will have to work much harder to move the car - this causes you to lose more power overall. Wind turbines work because the wind is moving on its own just due to planetary & weather effects, and the turbine/generator is capturing some of its energy. When driving a car, the car is the thing moving - not the air: the car is the thing putting energy into the system; so if you put a turbine on it to catch the wind, you're just sucking some energy out that you already put in from the motor... and any time you convert energy, you waste some. So a setup like this is just wasting power. It's tempting to do things like this, b/c it's like "oh this thing makes power, if i put it on my car it'll make power", but you have to look at the overall system. Just thinking about it, it would create infinite free energy, right? Any time you think "infinite" energy, just stop, there's something wrong; because it's physically impossible.
It won't be long before you absolutely fry your EV's onboard charger by using that high frequency, transformerless inverter. Because there is no galvanic isolation between the inverter's DC boost stage and its AC output. All it will take is for the AC output monitoring circuitry to fail and one of the MOSFETs in the inverter's H-Bridge circuit to short to ground, and this high frequency inverter can send dangerous, high voltage, high amperage DC current straight to your EV's onboard charger which will not only damage it, but can also set your EV's charger on fire.
Good job but hears an idea. The width of your cars roof is wider than both solar panel's placed side by side. The length of your cars roof from front to endnof raear window Is longer then the length of the solar panel's. Wouldnt it be easier or more efficient to Lock to felxible solar panel's across the length of the car's roof sode by side. Then hook up a wire attachment that leads inside of the care Then make some kind of hook up were the care can be charged while the driver remain in the care. The care company surely could have did this but corporate America are always trying to make more money or inconvenience the consumer. So we just have to find ways to make our own inventions to accommodate what Corporate America wont. Good job
no... Car companies installing solar panels to the car would give tiny amounts of power. The panels that he used were pushing around 100W's and it was a bright sunny day at midday. At that rate, it would charge the car 30x slower than plugging the car into a wall adapter. Let's do some quick calculations - the Model 3 LR has a battery of 83KW. It would take 830 hours or 34 days of constant, peak sunlight to fully charge this car from just the panels. Remeber that most days you usually get around 12 hours of sunlight, with only 2-3 hours of peak sunlight in the summer. Given the (very high) energy price of $0.34 per KW, let's figure out how much money a 100w solar system could save you. In a year, there is on average 8760 hours. Assume that for every single hour of the year, the solar panels are able to recieve peak maxiumum sunlight. at 100w (0.1kw) this system would be able to generate 876KW in a year. At $0.34 per KW, that would mean this solar system $297.84 per year. Again, this does not take into account night time, or the fact that sometimes people park their cars in a garage. It also assumes a very high energy price. At a typical price of ($0.22 per kw, the US average) the amount of money you save is even less. A solar system like that might cost a car company like tesla over $1000 to install it in a car, includning materials, installation, R&D, and technology to seamlessly intergrate it into the car. It would also require an additional step in the manufacturing process, consting even more. I can easily expect a car company to charge 2-3k to add a system like this to car. To save less than $300 a year. You do the math and tell me if it's worth it
Yeah, but it's not something anyone is going to do on a regular basis. You charge off mains most of the time, Supercharge when out on longer trips, and basically the only reason you'd ever do this is if you happened to plan things terribly, you have a generator or battery pack with you, you knew there was a Supercharger or something within 4-5 miles, and you have an hour to kill. It does demonstrate that a lot of things can be turned into electricity in a pinch (such as gasoline or sunlight), even though neither is a particularly practical application of them at these tiny scales to charge a car. But it could get you out of a jam if needed.
What is grounding? The nec stands for national electrical code. Grounding is the electrical system’s connection to the ground itself. Article 100 of the NEC defines ground as “the earth.” Section 250.4(A)(1) states that grounded electrical systems “shall be connected to earth in a manner that will limit the voltage imposed by lightning, line surges, or unintentional contact with higher-voltage lines and that will stabilize the voltage to earth during normal operation.”
The Jackery they used would even have worked fine had they gone into the Tesla and limited the amperage that the car asks for to keep the load under 1000W (which would be 8 Amps at 120V). The default for the 120V adapter is 12A, which is a little under 1500W. If your inverter is 2000W sustained, it won't even break a sweat keeping up. Note: A lot of generators/batteries have two ratings - "peak" and "sustained". As long as the "sustained" rating is over 1500W, it should be able to charge a Tesla just fine. At approximately 6 miles per hour, mind you, so it's really not a thing I would bother hauling around for daily self-rescue, but if you want it for camping anyway it won't hurt to have the 120V plug for your car's mobile connector just in case...
LOL...umm...the "ability" to charge and "useful" charge are 2 different animals. I can put a couple cups of gas in my car and it will start...but can't go anywhere. There is not a solar generator on the market right now that could add any useful charge to an EV...no matter how much solar you add to if...unless of course you want to sit on the side of the road for a few days so you can drive 10 miles. 🤣
Set the tesla to 8 amps, so Jackery won't be overloaded,
Right.. lol
That should have been common sense for them
How?
You Can't charge a Tesla under 10 Amps......

If you lower your amp settings in your tesla it should work.
Correct, the charger was using 1200w, but the e1000 only supports 1000w sustained. Hence, it will stop. The e1500 or e2000 should work.
you can just lower the amp charge rate in the car. 6-7 amps is the sweet spot. jackery 1000 user
Let's jury rig an electrical connector and hook it up to a cheap surge protector and then plug it in to a $100k Tesla and see what happens.

Note: A lot of generators/batteries have two ratings - "peak" and "sustained". As long as the "sustained" rating is over 1500W, it should be able to charge a Tesla just fine. At approximately 6 miles per hour, mind you, so it's really not a thing I would bother hauling around for daily self-rescue, but if you want it for camping anyway it won't hurt to have the 120V plug for your car's mobile connector just in case...
LOL...umm...the "ability" to charge and "useful" charge are 2 different animals. I can put a couple cups of gas in my car and it will start...but can't go anywhere. There is not a solar generator on the market right now that could add any useful charge to an EV...no matter how much solar you add to if...unless of course you want to sit on the side of the road for a few days so you can drive 10 miles. 🤣
kool! good to know!:)
Wow!!!!
👍👍👍👍👍
A F150 will charge a Tesla
