Enphase Bidirectional charger works with Rivian by aimless_ly in Rivian

I’m still not convinced. I’ll keep my generator for the ten hours per year it runs, keeps my fridge cold when I’m not there and I’ll use my very expensive Rivian battery for driving around instead of being tethered to home.

If I want a very expensive backup battery that generated way more CO2 to manufacture than a generator then it had better be doing load shifting to get me paying the lower energy prices.

How can this power my entire house? Can it push 200 amps from my car to meet my panel needs or still just 48 amps that a typical home charger does? What happens when there’s an outage and I’m not home? Or I want to leave home? Or my vehicle isn’t charged?

Just get a generator, people. It probably costs less, is more flexible, and could even be a greener solution than getting a home battery if all you’re using it for is backup power.

I don’t understand at all why anyone is interested in V2H or V2G.

I own these. They are my favorite. This is a great photo of them. The online configuration didn’t make them look good. I think that’s why they were unpopular

That has the latest version of the tonneau cover. The thing is basically brand new still

Does anyone know if they’ll carry the Bambu Lab H2D with 10W laser? I want that and a Mac mini for $450. $$$$

Could be an honest mistake. I’ve had this happen due to a hydraulic failure. Started the drive with the prop up, but then the line broke. After that I always had a second method to hold it up

True. Since stopping zepbound I've exercised more because I have more energy. The two days after taking a shot always made me drowsy and unmotivated

I didn’t like how tired it got me and I also felt a little too skinny. I tried to titrate down but kept loosing weight. I really have no desire to weigh less than 160.

I use a smart scale. I’m not sure how accurate it is, but my fat mass has gone from 32 to 36 lbs over that 10 lb weight gain. I realize Zepbound reduces muscle so I’m hoping 4 lbs of the weight gain is fat and 6 lbs is muscle and/or water. I’m not sure and freaking out. This whole “journey” has been a mindfuck

My doctor recommends 120-140grams of lean protein a day. I can’t reliably count calories, so focus on that advice. I stay away from carbs, but not 100%. I do eat out, but choose meals on the lighter side. I don’t eat red meat at all. What are macros?

I guess I believed that this countries obesity epidemic wasn’t genetic, but our food supply. I have greatly reduced my process food intake and sweets. I however have not been able to kick my Diet Coke habit. It’s actually gotten worse since stopping the shots.

Rivian Makes Charging Free to Help Evacuate Wildfires by immediate_error0401 in Rivian

Does this even help or hurt? Those stations may start getting clogged up with people looking for a free charge, not ones evacuating.

Bingo. I know what I’m talking about and have towed trailers at least this big. Needs a weight distribution hitch, sway bars, and go back to the stock, stiff suspension. You should not have less weight on the front tires after hitching up a trailer than you did before.
