@@Autonomous15 100amps continuous, or 100amps pulse? You'd overheat and kill it asking for 100 amps for minutes at a time. Your typical microwave is 1800 watts, anyway. Consider inverter losses and it could be even more than that. All of that run through a cord as thick as jumper cables, since 12V electricity is so inefficient. Improve it to 24V and beef all of that up just a little more and it wouldn't be hard. But do that and it's no longer a typical car.
