I had a typo instead of EV I typed EB but the video is very informing

I believe Slate truck is 52 kW battery for the low mileage model, little research says 8 to 10 panels to inverter to car battery that would be off grid solar panel

Would love to hear more about your research into this. Any details on the panels and their rated capacity?

Ah...In my mind, I thought you were MOUNTING a retractable array to your Slate! I was going to really geek out.

Well, you may want to geek out, cause I was thinking about it ,only if it looks right, and it’s worth the trouble which the answer to both of those would probably be no, but I’m still gonna look into it

I don’t wanna put the cart before the horse, but I am very hopeful. I can’t wait to have a truck, if the price is right.

Am going to assume you did a good search of this forum for previous discussions?. Some of us discussed last year.

Sorry to hear it isn’t worth your time, missing some good stuff.

I should be all set.

My home generator outlet on the breaker is 50A. I consulted with my electrician friend. Was told I will be ok, just don't poke my fingers on the metal plugs.

I have a detached garage. It has a sperate 40A panel inside. Electrican told me If I want the charger inside or outside from the garage it will be limited to 30A, which is 24A charging.

I been doing some research. I think 24A will be enough for me. Some of the Level 2 chargers on Amazon I found can set charging currents.

I will give it more thoughts. I need the AWD version of Slate. Got plenty of time to think about.

The liability level your jousting with is epic, Insurance companies check for stuff like this, imagine having a house fire and by saving a couple hundred bucks you get your insurance cancelled on claim for illegal electrical mods..
