Comment by zurohki@aussie.zone on Anon gets laid off

I realise it’s a joke and the details are irrelevant, but an EV is probably going to take weeks to drain its battery just sitting on in the garage. Days if it’s running the A/C.

Moving the vehicle costs so much energy that it’s a bit shocking how long an EV battery lasts if you use it for things other than driving.

A Yellow Canary Program created with Red Dwarf quantum geometries is highly powerful and its own advanced Turing complete coding system.

I only use my Tesla for powering my washer and dryer.

(/s. I wouldn’t let a Tesla occupy any space I owned or controlled.)

Even still, my EV could run the electric dryer for 12h straight on the highest settings. Washer is a rounding error in that estimate. It takes a lot to use up am EV battery.

Insert rivian truck literal plugs for bench saws and other light construction equipment.

Ye, my car has regular household outlets, I calculated it could power my pc setup for about 18 days (in ideal conditions).

I read somewhere Texans are using their Ford Lightnings for backup power when their home electricity cuts off. Interesting.

Mine is a kia ev6. All the e-gmp platform cars can do that.

Interesting. I guess it was a fluff piece or the writer was just using the momentum of the Lightning.

I think the us version of the e-gmp are kinda weak power output wise because the inverter is only 1 phase, 1600w. Here in Europe it does 3600w.

The lightning has multiple outlets and afaik also does two phase.

I’m not sure about other EVs, but the Ford Lightning specifically has a whole home inverter/backup interface that allows you to safely plug your EV in using the same Ford charger you use to charge and power your home in an outage, automatically switching between the grid and the Lightning

I only know this because I had to install one for a customer, so again no idea if that’s as streamlined for other EVs

Thank you for the info. Really informative.

Of course! If you need any more “in depth info” (ranting) about just about anything else related to solar, I’m your man!

There are a number of EVs and PHEVs capable of “vehicle-to-home” power transfer as long as they have a bi-directional charger. The Lightning is just particularly well suited for it due to its massive battery.

PHEVs as well, since they have a gas tank which enables using the vehicle as a generator, so that in an extended outage you have a means of refilling your source of power.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you’re new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
