You can also run an EV’s V2L output through a pair of AC/DC inverters outputting 8amps at 72V into the XT60 solar inputs while the batteries are providing 240V AC output to your panel.

These two batteries do 7.2kw 240V AV whole home back up, are on sale for a few more days and qualify for the 30% federal tax credit. They have the new delta pro 3s as well. They are portable and can be charged via j1772. www.costco.com/.product.400...

Also recently discovered generlink meter adapters to enable cheaply adding transfer switches and generator inlets but looks like Massachusetts utilities don’t allow them.

The ecoflow batteries also qualify for the federal tax credits. A smart panel would allow me to do time of use shifting automatically, but Eversource in MA does not have TOU. We don’t really have outages very often, so I’m torn on how beneficial could actually be without solar to go with it.

The ecoflows are designed to accept DC input from solar panels while providing AC output. So if I get a 120v AC to DC inverter, I can trickle charge from the car V2L to the batteries to stretch way beyond the 8kwh initial capacity.

I’ve been trying to figure out how to leverage the 65kw sitting in my driveway from my 2024 Kona. I recently saw Costco last week selling a pair of 4kwh eco flow delta pros with a 50amp hub outputting 240V AC up to 8kw for $4.2k (on sale). That could be hooked up to a generator inlet for home backup

Ok that makes sense. I wonder why the app was refusing to stop and telling me to go to the charger.

It feels like maybe I must have created an entirely separate ChargePoint account from my existing account. Any other ideas? Also, I had to initiate from the infotainment system, since I haven’t seen a way to setup full plug&charge yet.

The terminal said to use the mobile app to end it. Bluelink said to stop the session on the charger, and my existing ChargePoint app didn’t show a current session. Didn’t find anything in the infotainment system. I had to lower the DC charge limit in bluelink to stop the session.

That makes me less likely to plug in at home each day and I try to wait until I get the free charging from work. Occasionally, that has backfired and an impromptu trip means I’m more stressed about my battery level than I normally would be. Also MA electricity is frustratingly expensive!

I do wish there were some locations that offered level 2.5. Something like 20-30kw to recharge over a meal or shopping trip. I can charge at home but have free 6kw charging at work 1 day per week.

There’s a fan made one man audio book project where he does voices and songs and uses the score from the movies. It’s pretty great! It’s the bluefax hobbit!

Wild! Are the weight initialized independently and/or the training data shuffled independently?

If you aren’t planning to support accessing the attributes by positional index as in a regular tuple then dataclasses should be the default. Otherwise, it could be a breaking change if you decide later to switch form a named tuple to a dataclass.

I think the merges should be added to the vocabulary so that the vocabulary grows each iteration instead of shrinking. In your example “l” and “o” would become UNK when they aren’t in in the sequence “lo”

I don’t think that is correct. Tesla Destination chargers are AC chargers and offer ~6kw typically. They are usable now with a NACS to J1772 adapter like the Teslatap mini. But the adapters Hyundai just announced are for superchargers, and don’t have the pins to allow AC charging. Only DC, via CCS
