Well I picked up a 18.3 KWH lithium battery with a Toyota Rav4 Prime attached to it. Its a plug in hybrid with a claimed 40 miles full electric range. My only array with headroom for more panels is a roof mounted array with a grandfathered string Fronius inverter (no RSD). Thus I think the code says I cant add panels unless they are RSD which means walking away from the string inverter Thus the question comes up is can I just set up panels on a pole or ground mount and charge the battery using the standard charging port? I think the Level 1 or 2 charger puts out 120 or 240 VAC to the car so the important electronics are inside the car. My guess is it means I would need to set up a microgrid with a battery, to put out 120 VAC?. Level 1 charging is 120 VAC between 12 and 16 amps so 2KW max.
Anyone see or heard of an alternative?.
