Cool tech but some thoughts. For a retail price of $1500, this device needed to have a display for some info. Just a blinking power button is not going to cut it.

That's a crazy product. I heard from a German company that is doing V2H via DC. And they found out if their "wallbox" acts like a DC charger it can just offer the car negative voltage which then extracts power from the car. And this trick worked for most brands.

In this this writer agrees. The Tesla electrick system was NOT designed to do this function. The user is somehow bypassing the charge/electrick systems. This is NEVER a good idea in any electrick system. This will someday, come back to haunt the buyer-when the EV fails

[@ariip]

@@harriettanthony7352 dc supercharging does not use the onboard charger and goes right to the battery, which is all this device is using. Just making the car think you are supercharging, and instead of putting dc power in, you are taking it out. Very simple, not an issue. You are just making the car open up the pathway for supercharging. Again, nothing to do with the onboard charger because that is only for ac charging. All you are doing is opening up the relays as if you were supercharging. Great idea. surprised nobody or tesla did not offer such a device before. Very simple and safe. Other than having that cord carry the 400v (high voltage). Which a supercharger cord carries anyway when you are at a supercharger.

[@jackw9568]

This product appears to waste a lot of electricity. The car's charging screen shows your car is using 4 kW even before you plugged anything into the device. I assume this happens because the car thinks it's doing Supercharging and consuming 4 kW to needlessly heat the battery. Try going into the Tesla service mode screen and disabling battery heating to see if it helps improve the efficiency. Right now the efficiency is terrible - 4000 Watts to charge a phone at 30 Watts.

I dont need to use my Tesla for camping, and we have never had a power outage in our area that lasted longer than an hour, so for us it would get very little use. However, if this tech was scaleable then it definitely be useful as a proper V2L system so that we can use our car battery for the house on cloudy days when our solar is not doing much. Cool tech, I never thought it would be so simple to trick a Tesla. Thanks for showing us. 👍

[@adolfodef]

For the full price, it could be bigger, heavier & use a combination of liquid cooling + a bigger fan (more airflow & less noise). | . Cooper Heatsink on the inverter, antifreeze coolant pumped in a closed loop; a single big fan, airflow on the secondary alluminium heatsink. -> The requirements for it will automatically improve its water/dust resistance.

[@WaterBarleyHopsYeast]

This looks to be an 1800 watt inverter with battery which is very similar to a solar generator. The only difference is that you can pull power from your Tesla battery pack. The main issue I see with this is the power inefficiency due to the fact that the Tesla will be temperature modulating the battery pack the whole time you are using this device. As soon as you plug in the car will run the heat pump, coolant pump, and even stall the motors to generate heat when the outside temps are below 65F. This alone will consume around 1-2kWh in addition to whatever load is being used by the discharger. This means that it’s not really feasible to use this as a backup during a power outage or for camping purposes. If you just want to use it for an hour or less for tailgating or whatever then yeah it kinda makes sense but for that kind of money you can buy a 2kWh solar generator that can do the same and you can plug the solar generator into your Tesla’s 16v DC outlet to recharge the solar generator at 240Wh. It’s a cool workaround but just doesn’t seem practical until Tesla enables this V2L functionality to prevent the battery conditioning from happening.

[@CapoGamingYT]

$1500, thats a joke right? I would love this feature but for a whopping $1500 NO WAY! For that price I would want something that can power my house, not just a phone charger or an air fryer. You can do that with the connections in the car, or even get a invertor that hooks up to your small battery and you can power little things like you did.

[@paulaschofield]

You missed a several manufacturers off your list that have vehicle to load. VW, MG, BYD and even Mitsubishi have V2L, and if Tesla don't want people leaving in droves, they need to enable the feature on the Model 3 and Y

If the car thinks it's DC charging does that mean it preconditions the battery? My concern with buying one of these would be that Tesla could easily release a software update which blocks it from working. They just need to change it so that if you plug into a charger which doesn't actually deliver any power it throws an error.

[@JanErik1986]

@@dadstoyscars What he meant was that Tesla can easily update the BMS software to monitor reverse charge current, and simply open the HV connector if negative current is registered through the charge port, which is 100% in Teslas control regardless what updates this device receives. Tesla have simply not had any focus on this, as this have never been an issue (before now), but if more and more people start using this type of V2L and it causes excessive battery wear (which it will, as high battery temp is only intended for a very short period for fast charging, and will degrade the battery significantly faster if used for a prolonged time), they most likely will. Tesla already shut down 12V sockets while in stand by with sentry mode on due to excessive battery drain by some people (some people found out they could connect directly to the 12V DC supply to power high power inverters for V2L by the cars 400V->12V system). Regardless if they block this function by SW update or not, Tesla can still easily discover this later as charge sessions are logged, and it's very easy to spot that "something's off" with a 5-10 hour charge session at a "supercharger" that charged up -40%. Now, the battery might be perfectly fine with this, but if you do use it, expect any battery warranty to be voided (this is already stated in the manual if i remember good), and do get the S3XY commander that should be able to disable the battery pre-heater (although, i'm not sure how this works while the car think it's supercharging). Other then that, i must say, it's a very interesting product, and i wish Tesla would offer a similar solution that wouldn't void warranty, and maintain a high efficiency by knowing it's not actually charging.

what would be ideal is to have a device that could connect directly to the Tesla level2 wallcharger since these should be connected to a 60 amp circuit that coud provide up to 48 volts from the Tesla model Y. If this was possible, then homeowners could install a manual or automatic switch to disconnect/turn off power at the mains. This would allow you to run MOST of your critical devices in your home, up to about 11Kw which is more than most houses need to get them through an outage.

[@Marki555]

You cannot just inject electricity into house/grid from an arbitrary socket where the wallbox is connected. It has to be properly installed, marked (so that everybody is aware there can be electricity even with main switch turned off) and have correctly installed break-before-make switch towards the grid. There probably are some dual-purpose wallboxes, but their installation is similar to install of hybrid solar.

[@mickyd3]

@@Marki555 This is NOT an arbitrary socket, Tesla Wall chargers (not the portable unit) connect to a dedicated circuit. This is no different from my portable generator that I had installed. The Tesla wall charger is hardwired to a dedicated 60 amp circuit. You could do the same with the portable Tesla charger using a 50 amp circuit but that is not what I am speaking to here. The only thing I would have to move my 60 amp circuit breaker to the top of the panel, and as I mentioned in my comments, you will and insert a manual shut off switch or automatic switch. In , case, for me, this is already there. I would just need to move my circuit breaker into this position. The install is no different from a house generator. Yes, the solar boxes do that automatic switch as well, but is not a requirement. Any electrician can install a manual switch or automatic switch for the Mains to make this work.

[@dvwatts]

So what happens when someone spills a water on it, it gets rained, or falls in a deep puddle since people are going to be using this outside and most likely cooking with it. There is 400v in there on a terminal and who knows how well it is sealed.

[@martinyin]

I''m at least interested in knowing if it has an IP rating. Good to know if camping

[@karatestrike]

There’s nothing going in to that box. Tesla would never allow tapping into 400V as if the device had an issue you’d be blowing fusible links that don’t exist as the vehicle doesn’t supply voltage to the port other than a few volts for communication to the supercharger.

OK, this is pretty cool, but so many questions. Down the road, when this unit is more refined and priced better, I could see it used to provide power during a power outage to run vital items in a home. As it sits here, it seems to fairly inefficient insofar it causes the Tesla to go into condition mode. That uses power on it's own. Then, what kind of output does this "inverter" box provide? Yes, it's 120 volts, but is it a pure sinewave? If it needs roaring cooling fan, that means it is throwing off a lot of heat? Does it screw up the Tesla computer's HV battery SOC calculations? LIke, does the % of battery power drop while using the V2L? I'll be waiting for a more refined unit to show up.

Does it work for all older models? I remember a Munro teardown video, where they said, the charging controller circiut has a diode at a certain point making it impossible for the current to flow the other way around. So I was wondering what this device is actually doing to trick Tesla into V2L? Does it have an effect on warranty? What is the efficiency / loss of this device?

[@Marki555]

It's emulating a DC charger. DC charger is directly connected to the battery and the charger generates voltage little higher than the current battery voltage, so it gets charged. This device generates little lower voltage, so the electricity flows from the battery to the device. Tesla can measure charger voltage (and shows it in the service menu), so with future update it can disconnect the "charger" when it sees voltage lower than the battery voltage. Another unknown is why the car thinks the charger is outputing 4 kW (but with zero miles/hour) with just connected without any load. And what does the car display with load connected. Regarding warranty - the manual says you are not allowed to try to take power from the LV or HV system (except the 12v sockets).

Can you use this with a NACS to CCS adapter to do V2L with non-Tesla? As long as the vehicle supports it it should be possible. Does it work with HVDC or AC onboard charger? If so it could work with a NACS to J1772 adapter. The 4kW preconditioning comments suggest it's DC so the new NACS to CCS adapters would be worth trying.

$20,000 is very expensive just to get power from your car to run electric an Appliance. The moment you connect that device to your car and the power start flowing from the high voltage battery to outside of the car, The car will send the signal to Tesla letting Tesla know that the high voltage battery is being used for external purposes. Tesla then immediately voids your 8 years or 120,000 miles High voltage battery warranty. Those lithium-ion battery were tested with Tesla car and the warranty was specific to those testing conditions. Since now the battery is cycling (1500 max) outside of normal Tesla vehicle usage the warranty will no longer be valid. This means let's just say within a year your battery starts to give problems and not hold charge as well anymore. When you go to Tesla, they will say that you don't have warranty and that a new pack of batteries gonna cost you $15,000 minimum plus labour and tax. It's gonna round up to be $20,000 Hope you enjoyed your little cup of coffee.

It's a slick device, and a easy way to add 120v outlet. What is the efficiency? If it triggers battery heating, in addition to the device having to be heated, it may waste lots of energy just to, say, boil the water. It's going to have the same issue with the Tesla warranty as inverter. I'd just add an inverter if i need 120v. That would be way cheaper and more energy efficient. I have 2kw inverter installed in my frunk and it's been working great.

To me one would be crazy to pay this much for two 15 amp plugs. For less than half the price one could a ecoflow or Jackery power station with more power than this. Those are like $300. Boy, kids these days, I just don’t get them

[@Alucardx72]

To much money for tesla to issue an update and patch the exploit that this device use to get energy out.

[@SwollenCranium]

Jeez. Avoid. Will void warranty. Warranty specifically states car can not be used as a stationary charging unit. If you are outside the warranty time then do whatever you want.

[@jacobheinz8236]

Will it void your Tesla warranty? Just to prove that you can boil water? People are strange.

[@chriso847]

I’ve been waiting years for V2L so I can get rid of my gas generator and use an electric car to power two refrigerators during power outages. But this device does not have enough power output. Not worth it.

[@arthurcooper3258]

Too much...too loud!!!

[@TNtreasurehunter]

Cool idea but way way too expensive. You can buy a huge battery generator for less than that.

[@hammer082]

the pre heating is a bummer ... so you heated a liter of water, and some fries with what, 15 kWh?

[@arodg]

Did you just film yourself voiding your battery warranty?

[@everettjohnson7264]

That's pretty shameless markup. There's basically nothing in that box that would justify $1,500. The vehicle already has a DC to AC converter built in. A little step down transformer and a basic control board.

[@Mr.Ro8ot]

Wow $1500 for that device. I’m not sure if it’s worth it.

Shit - we life in Europe - we need 220 Volt!

[@pharmajoe5468]

Better you need 230V…

[@rolandschruef325]

And there is no NACS plug in EU 😢

[@carstenherrmann9222]

There's also a 220V version available. As @pharmajoe5468 has mentionned, the nominal voltage in Europe is 230V now, but 220V will work as well. I still have some doubts concerning security. For instance, is the current cut off in case of a failure sufficiently fast and in a failsafe fashion ? You don't want to see >200kW entering the device in case of a short circuit and don't want to explain this to your insurrance company. I still think it is a good idea, but it needs to be tested and developped further.

[@adolfodef]

Since it has (×2) Split Phase 120 V Power Outputs; in theory you can combine both to get 240v (still @60 hz) & then a transformer to get the 3_phase alternate current at 240v @50 Hz. -> The European version that uses CCS (rather than NACS) likely does this natively.

[@Marki555]

In the video he shows also CCS european version of the device. But all the questions still remain.

[@kottuning3294]

I see a bad accident with this Temu box in the future. This is a terrible idea IMHO and your just inviting Tesla for voiding your warranty. I know many others said this is the same thing that happens at a supercharger but Tesla is logging every bit of power going in and out of that vehicle and if something goes haywire good luck explaining that to Tesla

[@dbar9579]

Way too loud

[@DaveBjornRapp]

I'm going to give this product a FAIL for three reasons: 1. It's way too damn expensive for what it does. 2. Fans are way too loud. 2. The USB ports ARE ON THE BOTTOM!!!! That's the single worst USB location since that Apple Magic mouse abomination. Do better guys.

[@ozone7]

This is nearly a scam-product: It is tricking the car into thinking it is going to be Supercharged. A supercharge-session that never happens... With all sorts of wasted energy as a result! Thanks for testing this useless product! You having no idea of what is happening in the background is actually useful in this case : )

[@pmcolon]

What a useless product! Get yourself a small Honda inverter generator. Hopefully Tesla will have V2L capabilities in their future vehicles.

[@johnpoldo8817]

Much too expensive. I’m only interested in 240V to charge another EV. Made in China is a deal-beaker.

[@DaveK-FL]

Horrendously loud fan!

[@jean-petit-qui]

Ca sent l'arnaque à plein nez. A voir les schémas on peut supposer qu'ils avaient fait (Tesla) une reserve de câblage dans ce sens, mais qu'ils y aient renoncé, sans doute pour éviter un vieillissement prématuré de la batterie. Même les bidouilleurs de génie n'ont pas réussit à faire remonter le courant à l'envers . Faut pas croire que lorsqu'on charge, même en continu, on se branche directement sur la batterie. On passe au travers d'une électronique de puissance, qui hélas n'est pas réversible. Mais que ceux qui veulent se lancer le fasse, puis nous en parle. As usual, wait and see.

It SEEMS the power comes from the device, and the NACS is 'smoke and mirrors'. There are portable power devices for RVs that run this way. I would like to see a REAL ELECTRICIAN do a tech review of this

[@dadstoyscars]

@ Appreciate your comment. Thank you for watching and your great support!🙏😃

[@Marki555]

DC charging works by connecting the charger directly to the battery (there is a very thick cable from charger port to the battery) by closing contactors (can be seen in service menu and heard as loud noise when starting/stopping DC charge). DC charging then works by charger generating DC voltage with is little higher than the battery voltage (same as charging NiMH AA batteries at home). There is no electronics in the car involved in the current path from DC charger to the battery - just monitoring circuits which ensure the voltage as everything is correct (and would open the contactors in case it detects something odd). But yes, it does smell like a scam :) But if Tesla doesn't care that charger voltage is lower than battery voltage (in this case the electricity would flow from car to the device), then it works (until Tesla starts to care and firmware update disables it).
