Does your truck have a DC2DC converter and a larger 12v accessory battery? Seems like you could easily find a 1500 watt 12v inverter to run off of your 12v accessory battery. Depending upon your duty cycle you may not even need to upgrade the DC2DC converter... Jay On 8/11/22 16:28, John

Many solar inverters will accept DC input from a string of PV panels in that 300-400 vdc range and output 2k or more AC, but the tricky bit is that batteries don't act exactly like PV panels. I know Ben Nelson has used a solar inverter wired up to an iMev's battery pack via the DC fast

How about a motor / alternator setup? 2K is not that much to built one for. Dach. On Sunday, July 31, 2022 at 10:01:26 AM MST, Ing. Marco Gaxiola via EV wrote: The only one that comes to my mind now is the onboard generator from the Ford F250 hybrid or the F150 Lighting. These go

The only one that comes to my mind now is the onboard generator from the Ford F250 hybrid or the F150 Lighting. These go straight from 300-400Vdc In to either 120/240Vac Out. But are CAN controlled, so CAN messages would have be hacked and a dealership to sell you the unit alone. Sent from

One thing I'd really like to have is about 2000W of 120VAC available from my F250 conversion, with a pack that will be 300 to 400vdc. Anyone know of an inverter that will do that? AND cost less than a new car? -- Worlds only All Electric F-250 truck!
