I don’t have a solar roof yet so when EcoFlow asked if I wanted to review their portable power station called the Delta Pro along with their portable solar panels, I thought it would be perfect. Let's look at how the Delta Pro can be useful in your home then I’ll show you why I think this is one of the best accessories if you own a Tesla or any electric vehicle.
A single Delta Pro unit has 3600 watts of AC output with a wide range of ports including four 20 amp outlets which are just like your standard home power outlet, one 30 amp outlet which is similar to an RV hookup, four USB-A ports two of which are fast charging, and two USB-C ports plus many other types.
A big reason I thought this would be a nice addition not only to my home but to my Tesla Model Y was because the Model Y doesn’t have any power outlets in the vehicle at all. Having this when traveling certain places is super useful for me and my wife because we film weddings, and for our most recent wedding we extended the trip into a vacation so having the Delta Pro would allow us to charge our laptops while we offload and edit the footage plus charge all our camera batteries while we were away from home. This is a convenient and useful way to power all our devices from our car wherever we are and was essentially like making our Tesla Model Y just as good as a Rivian R1T in that regard.
Even better is the expandable design when connected with other EcoFlow units it can become an integrated home power solution and go all the way up to 25 kWh of capacity which can prove to be vital in more extreme events like blackouts that last for days. I plugged my fridge, coffee bean grinder, and electric kettle all into the Delta Pro, and the Delta Pro’s fans kicked on which is also a great feature because this allows it to have a consistent output of power without overheating, and the Delta Pro worked great while powering all of these appliances.
When I charged my Delta Pro at home the input speed was about 1600 watts, and to fully charge from 0-100% it would take less than 3 hours on a standard home outlet which is crazy fast. The portable 400w solar panel charged the Delta Pro at a max of 326 watts which is good if you’re in a secluded location for a while & have the time to adjust the solar panel manually throughout the day. When the solar panel is folded it can fit next to the Delta Pro in my Tesla Model Y with one of the backseats folded down so this would be convenient to have when camping or in a remote area and you need to continually charge devices for days on end.
After some research I found 2 items that are needed to charge my Tesla using the Delta Pro. The 1st item is this RV connector adapter that costs about $40 on Amazon and the 2nd item is this neutral ground plug for about $15 on Amazon. Although the Delta Pro is a pricey at around $3400 and it’s fairly heavy for the average person, it is solidly built with a wide variety of useful ports along with a high capacity and the ability to be connected to other units (especially the solar panels) to make it a truly usable backup battery in emergency situations.

Will the discount apply to the UK?
No, sorry. 😢
> The price is quite a shock. Hope they are working on a more $ friendly system that can be a stationary setup. This portable unit is nice for how you are using it, but not for connecting several together. Things will get better. No?
They do have a stationary system now called Power Kits
Can you set it up so that you can charge the tesla continuously until it is full, when it is plugged in to Solar or will the battery turn of after a few miles
Don't fool yourself, buying an electric car will come back and bite you in the A$$ .... as it did my family ! ... Forget Batteries ! ... an lets move on to a newer energy source that won't poison everybody on earth !!
How did it come back to bite you? Im truly Curious
Can you leave the solar panel in your Tesla plugged in under the glass roof?
Wonder how the system would work in extreme cold weathers, while slow charging a Tesla? Be really great to know how the system reacts under such conditions.
As a breastfeeding mom of two, thank you for supporting your wife and protecting that liquid gold!
Hi Alaina, can you please ask your hubby to share the link of this adapter that he purchased? I can’t seem to find it on amazon. - you have a great husband! Protecting the liquid gold is essential! 😊
Interesting product, but way too expensive. I hope the price comes down eventually
Thanks for the review. I got the Delta Pro as a backup power source in case of power outages and I being that it has 3600Wh of capacity. It can definitely last me through the night.
This Chinese engineered product is not a complete power outage solution because it uses lightweight, low cost high frequency inverter technology that does not incorporate an iron core, copper wound output transformer in its design. This allows it to be susceptible to damage and a short life expectancy due to repeated exposure to high inductance loads such as refrigerators, microwaves, AC units, power tools etc. A much better solution is to purchase a low frequency solar generator with an output transformer. it will last far, far longer and you'll be able to power high inductance loads without sustaining damage to the inverter's unprotected silicon MOSFETs.
Bluetti EB3A $299 better for most cars. Or Tesla could just add outlets.
Good product but likely overkill for a car. A couple 20,000 mah chargers is all you need for your car use case.. Cameras, batteries, phones, laptops etc.
I have both the Delta Pro and the 400 watt portable panel. I purchased the unit and panel to have backup power in the event of an outage. I plan on expanding the system with two additional batteries and installing the home panel. This would give me roughly 10.8 kWh of power and could easily handle most of my needs during peak electrical demand times saving on the cost per kWh. I also want to purchase the solar tracker for the portable solar panel. It will maximize the power the panel can generate as it will literally track the angle of the sun. Yes, I have charged my MY on occasion but honestly will only give you 12-15 miles if you drain the DP from 100% to 0% SOC. And it’s not recommended to consistently charge above 85% or drain it below 10%. Great video and EcoFlow is a great company and product.
The battery prefers 100% charge actually
Where did you get not charging past 85%, when it’s LFP batteries which like 100%.
so its only good to use for emergency use like a gas can for my ice vehicle. good to know
@@thebrit Due to the weight and very limited addition to range, I'd never keep this in my car for a trip. It's better suited for home use during an outage or when out camping. But still way too expensive.
how much does it weigh?
For a sustainable solution I think using the Delta Pro would be spot on. SInce I can charge it by using solar panels it is totally renewable and can give my an unlimited supply of power.
I have followed this company and I like the products they are offering but the pricing is crazy high! Non starter for me.
Need one of these for the camping setup.
I thought the same thing! 😁
Omg!!!! $4K?!?!
Nope, $3,400. If you think the price is high why would you arbitrarily add $600?
@@davidwollpert5276 tax
@@louisctam everything is taxed. It’s not considered part of the cost unless you specify it. So the item does not cost $4,000. It costs $3,400 plus tax. The difference is that your OMG is trying to make it look like it is priced too high. Then you should use the price, not the plus tax amount. Do you think people don’t know that there is tax?
@@davidwollpert5276 it is the money out of my pocket. You are very suspicious…. You are the sales of that company? Or you are the owner? Why so aggressive?
@@louisctam because facts are more important than hype. We get way too much hype in politics, we don’t need it in other areas. Just stick with facts.
Am I correct that a 400 W solar panel will make about 3 kW of energy over an entire day. That would drive my Tesla 12 miles. I haven't even included the losses in transferring from sunlight to battery to EV. If you had really cloudy day your fully charged EcoFlow could charge your car to go 14 miles and then be fully discharged. Now if you put your panels all over the vehicle and had them charge the EV through the Ecoflow while driving, you could drive for 14 miles in about 10 minutes then wait a full day to recharge and then drive ten more minutes. Please refute my math if I am wrong.
Without an output transformer to provide galvanic isolation between that portable, high frequency, transformerless inverter's DC rail and its AC output, during a failure of this inverter's control circuitry, you are at high risk of passing high amperage DC current through to your EV's onboard charger. This can not only damage it, but will also void your EV's warranty. You may be able to charge your EV now, but one day, you're inverter will fail as they all do, and you will probably smoke your EV's charger. A much better way to charge your EV off grid, is to use a low frequency, transformer based inverter.
Hi have you ever used it while it’s in that lower trunk position? Like are you able to still plug things into it or not enough space? Also does it overheat if you have tried it? Thanks!
These cost a few thousand dollars so no thanks. I’d rather go for a less expensive model and just use a 12v inverter if I need to charge other items.
Too expensive and heavy
And what is the point of it other than braggin rights
I would never plug my EV into the low cost, Chinese made, high frequency, transformerless inverter that's inside of that Ecoflow. You might be able to get away with it a few times, but as soon as one of the MOSFETs in the H-Bridge in that high frequency inverter shorts to ground, you'll be sending high current, high voltage DC current straight into your EVs onboard charger that will turn it into a brick. The high frequency, transformerless inverters that are found in all solar generators on the market today are not designed to power high inductance loads. A far better and safer option is to charge your EV with a low frequency, transformer based inverter charger and an LFP battery bank. It will last far, far longer and won't burn up your EVs expensive charger.
I Love Your #Tesla Content
If you hook two together you will have 240 volts and get about 30 miles of range per hour.
prob have to use separate set up to get 240v, the built in inverter only 120v
Andy, consider an electric lawn mower and perhaps a blower......
why can't Tesla just add a charge port inside the car also? then we can keep the battery inside and charge
The best thing about the Delta Pro is I can upgrade the whole system to a total of about 25kWh. That is truly being independent on the grid.
You could have purchased a 10-30 adapter for your mobile connector and had one less adapter to daisy chain. The Tesla adapter also limits the vehicle to 24 amp draw automatically. It costs about the same as the adapter you purchased anyway.
@JeanPierreWhite can you post a link to this adaptor?
Bro stop lifting anything heavy with ur back use ur legs next time 😂😂😂 save ur back
This shit is worth being in a microwave we dying anyways fuck it ima just ride with my alien tin foil galactic intercom to negate radiation
In all honesty the Delta Pro can actually be a better solution for having power independent from the grid. I can use the solar panels during daytie or the Smart Generator during night time to charge up my Delta Pro.
Awesome but $3400 makes the technology a bit too pricey for the time being
thanks for posting this Andy. This answers all my questions about this. I thought of this idea and after doing some research found out it's nothing new lol.. I wasn't sure how well this battery compared to others would work. I currently live in an apartment and this is a way to solve the charging situation and the fact that it can be charged at a charging station only adds icing on the cake. If i had more privacy I'd charge the battery by solar during the day, then charge my model 3 long range the 3-5% I might lose in a week during the night to keep it topped off, but I worry about theft during the day.. public parking lot. I'll try and figure something out, but def. purchase for the future.. thanks to your review. thank you!
For comparison it’s 4 hours to charge my 5000mah portable battery
I don't understand why tesla doesn't sell something like this...
I like your videos Andy. I didn’t see any comments on the danger of using the neutral bonding plug that may have surfaced since you made this video. I apologize if I missed it. Using the neutral bonding plug and plugging the Delta Pro into a 120v outlet to charge it at the same time can fry your charging circuit. Don’t take the chance with neutral bonding this way. Buy the adapter from Ecoflow. It prevents wall charging but permits solar charging while you charge your car. I’m doing that with 1600 watts of solar input to charge my Bolt.
@robwinkler4668 a rep from EcoFlow forwarded this video to me and told me to use this configuration. What's the model number of the adaptor from EcoFlow?
An hour and half to charge 6% 🤭. I think this portable battery is useful for home use, but not practical for EV.
Like the concept and appears to be a viable short term solution. However the product at this price point is probably cost prohibitive for many people unless there is a business situation such as yours or a high use rate on a personal level.
Andy,
This is probably
a tax write off for you. $3500 is a lot of money for some people. I’m
Too damn expensive
Very nice product but Ecoflow did a terrible design job on mounting portable solar panel. Why doesn’t it have a simple kick-stand so panel is flat facing the sun. It looks awful in your video. I would never buy that poorly designed solar panel.
You can charge your laptops with the Tesla though! If they support USB C charging. I do this all the time :)
How much power is available on the USB-C outlets though? They aren't PD level power, more USB-level, or?
@@cgamiga I'm not sure if it varies according to model year and region, but the 2022 model 3 has PD ports both front and back. I can't confirm the wattage though but they sufficiently charge a 13 inch Intel MacBook Pro while being used.
Interesting products. I would like to see a battery and PV panel system that’s custom designed to fit in the sub trunk of the model Y and model 3.
Charged with this gives additional 5 miles ranges. wow
Lol thats wack.
And it will rarely be used, so define "renewable" when we buy BIG batteries and let them take up dut around the house, let alone haul it around on all longer drives as a get out jail card that some brands simply give with the car for free as hidden bottom buffer.
This isnt true. The big version holds 25 kWh. Thats 35-50% of the avg EV battery.
Also, its good for back up at home or to go camping
I have one of these - the baby version - to back up the fridge at the cottage for 24hrs. It works well. I supposed if one could get the 30-35% as someone else suggested, it would certainly be a welcome addition in more remote places where the distance between charge stations is a bit dicey. 5 mi wouldn’t be enough to use just for that purpose IMO however. But then, I don’t own a Tesla yet so… 🤷🏻♂️
@@truth6565 dude...The big boy is 3.6kwh. you can link a few up to get 25kwh...But why? Just get some proper home storage that cost half the price for more capacity...
Nobody needs to lug around 3.6kwh of energy. And if you do, a petrol generator is better. Normal people use power banks or v2l from the car.
So about how many miles can the Delta Pro fill the Tesla up for?
Yea not worth the price for home backup. EG4 systems deliver double the capacity for less cost.
Great concept but technology not there yet
Weak...just weak. Sad. I own a DP.
Zombie apocalypse hack.
Nope...
I live in FL. Best solution is a 5,500 Honda generator w/Home transfer switch. Powers & charges everything including my Tesla & my USB storage batteries
Hi Andy,
I loved your video clips and Chanel!
May I have you battery series or model and also so how it for ?
I might to purchase it the same your.
Thank you very much and have nice holiday!
Wow, brilliant!
WOW LOVE IT🥰
You guys should visit the RUclipsr Bjorn who is doing this ecoflow real life testing
Hi all,
So....I have a hack that I literally just thought of for people who can't afford another Delta Pro or extra battery BUT need additional power and own another ecoflow battery. I have called ecoflow and given them the idea as well and they confirmed that it will in fact work!! I then asked them why they don't tell everyone after I've told them and they said they would "escalate the idea" to their top tier and perhaps add it to their FAQs. So here's the idea: We've been told that you must have like systems in order to use them together. This is NOT actually true. If your Delta Pro is low on power (or any other ecoflow system you have) you can simply plug its charging cable (in the rear) into the front of the secondary system. In other words you're using the second system as a wall outlet of sorts. This works especially well in the evening when the sun is down and there is no more backup energy. What do you do when the sun is up?...even better...plus the second system from the rear into the front of the Delta Pro. This allows the sun to charge them BOTH regardless of the differences of their capacities or sizes!!! The only word of caution they gave me after saying what a great idea this was, was to say don't forget to lower the charging speed on the Delta Pro once it's plugged into the front of the second system. Guys this means you can use anything from a River and up to charge your Delta Pro OR any other ecoflow system. If this works for you please like my comment and say "Thanks T!!" just so I'll know at least I was able to communicate something helpful to the solar community-especially since these systems are sooooo expensive!!
Now if only tesla made it… 1.3x more capacity and 20% lighter as well as a fair bit better BMS and efficiency
But this slowly getting getting close enough good job by them tho i would like to see an Ohhh S*** backup of 200Wh incase it dies and you have it as the only power source and your phone is dead or dying and solar isnt viable for what ever reason
I ordered every item
The nema when i plug keeps flashing yellow error and not charging
That’s a overkill if your just charging devices 😂it needs to be looked at mostly for back up and car charging only especially for the price
It's very noisy evidently.
Isn't this bjorns...
Big brain. Put the solar panel ontop of the tesla, route cable outside of car through battery, win.
Extremely expensive
how do you compare to Anker SOLIX F2000 (PowerHouse 767) - 2048Wh｜2400W
Way overkill for how you used it out of the model y
Does anyone know of a model that can output either 110V/60Hz or 220V/50Hz? I am not 100% sure but I think the EcoFlow Delta Pro does only 110/60Hz if bought in the US or only 220V/50Hz if bought in Europe.
For the Tesla, if you were at 0% charge how much charge could you get from the delta pro
Can it power home appliances? Would be nice to run a mini washer and dryer in the woods.
it can power your whole house for like 5-10 hours, this thing costs like 3k though, there are ones that costs 500$
@@LoLErMan13 the lower cost ones won't power your house.
@@Resist4 No shit sherlock, you just learn that today?
Oh yknow....just a casual $4000+ to have this....no biggie...
:O
what's the name/model between 14-50 nema and the ecoflow-30amp socket?
How many cycles show EcoFlow get over its lifetime to be consider "green", or even "sustainable"?
If your cute Tesla had gotten the extra battery capacity hidden at the bottom, it would add 5 kg per kWh only. $100 for Tesla per 4-5 miles of range, let alone in Turtle Mode. The sub zero range could come at an automatic $50 run-low-fee and add 10 miles for $200 cost and 10 kg for the whole car.
Such a unit, carried along on rides like a tiny little jerrycan of fuel, would ideally have a place in the car where it tugs away invisibly. Say, under the rear seats, in the rear boot well, or the back of the frunk. And then just unplug with a simply tug for mobile use.
How much could a fully charged ecoflow charge up your Tesla?
I kinda agree with him with the most important things. My phone, my laptop and my Tesla. The Delta Pro is a pretty good proposition to power all these things and with around 3600W of capacity. It can really charge the Tesla.
Having this crap lug around will bring down range in your car.
Hi❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥
Spend the money on rooftop solar instead.
how many miles will you get from a full delta pro ?
could the ecoflow battery be charged at a tesla EV station?
You are a genius I’m so geeked. Can’t wait to purchase
If you use it to charge the car, how many miles do you get?
So if you charge your tesla how many miles will give?
is there any chance you could charge those solar panels inside your car?
How many miles delta pro can charge Tesla ?
Why did I see smoke when the mobile charger was plugged into the Ecoflow? 10:24 Left side of the screen.
I had multiple mosquito-repellent candles and incense burning around the yard
@@aslye OH. Ok, makes sense. I got worried when I saw smoke wafting through the air. 😆
Can you connect the solar panel and your appliance to the battery unit at the same time?
And what is the miles per hour to chargw the tesla
Yo that’s a lotta cash 👀🥵
That’s cool….I was wondering when you were gonna plug the MY into it. 😂
I like the remote start, dual fuel, and it is easy to move around. Great for the RV!
How many miles can you put into the model Y
What size Eco flow would be good for emergency charging Tesla
This Delta Pro is most powerful
I love people who love cats.
Then you see the price.
lol that price is ridiculous though O_O
I thought I saw a cat... I did see a cat 😸
Can you charge the tesla
3400 for a battery 😒
Just the cost of a cheap car😂
Andy, what's the neutral ground plug for?
Suggestion: Carry that heavy load in the car's sub-trunk so a sudden stop won't make it fly around.
Most generators and probably the Delta Pro do not bond the neutral to ground. Your house does this in the circuit breaker box. The ground plug bonds does the same for your "generator".
Why need a ground…?
It's overpriced
Love this unit! Delta Max is a close second.
