In my config given an 11.4KW inverter between the grid and car, it is going to be approximately 11.4KW.

Yes. Except...maybe the way to think of this is actually that most EVs "have a bug" in that they ignore the presence of a charger if their target SOC is below their current SOC. I don't have the means to sniff the protocol. But it really feels like the car's first order conditional logic is "do...

Put another way: My biggest complaint is that SigEnergy doesn't have a high level toggle in their app for simple/complex mode. It has sooooo many settings and options and scheduling and energy flow prioritization that the vast majority of people will never want or rarely need to touch. I have...

Maybe we're missing each other on the fact that I do manually move the Rivian target SOC up and down in the Rivian app if/when needed relative to actual SOC and the SigEnergy side's schedule and automations and my desired energy flows? Those mobile app clicks are automatable, but I haven't been...

Yes and no. It could pull that many amps from the grid. But it can't invert that and deliver it to the car. PV DC and house battery DC plus grid AC inverted to DC do get up to the 25kW charge power. The cord is supposedly available in 5, 7.5 and 10m lengths. I believe mine is the 5m and it is...

Yeah the SigEnergy app lets you do all of that.

Solar PV System / Battery install $38,532.20 AWA 02: Install EV Charger $5,995.00 That's before a local energy incentive of $3,290.00 which went to the installer and was subtracted from the overall $41k. And is before the Federal tax credit which I expect any day now. Installed...

Given the mobile nature of the EV batteries and their cabling, a hands off, automated, continuous solution is unrealistic for the foreseeable future, although the folks at and https://github.com/dalathegreat/Battery-Emulator seem to be onto something. In the meantime my annual driving energy...

Yes the system prefers grid power. But has settings to prefer PV or battery if that's your thing. For some scenario I personally don't comprehend they even have settings to prefer PV-sourced power in the battery versus grid-sourced power in the battery, or vice versa. Using the 100% target on...

I guess it depends how you choose to count. I got the R1T for around $50k and the bidi DCFC for $6k, so $56k? Or if I don't account the trade in vehicle and do include the solar panels and inverter I was already contracted for when word dropped the DCFC worked with a Rivian, that'd be $80K+$40k...

It is interesting that I have 100% success discharging my gen1 R1T through the SigEnergy DCFC. True_Dad and I have compared notes a bit and only one thing really stood out iirc. He’s concerned about battery chemistry so he doesn’t set his target Rivian-side SOC as high as I do. I tend to set it...

I thought I replied to this but apparently I didn't. Sorry! My R1T is CCS. The DC bi-di charger I got from SigEnergy is NACS. I use the Rivian provided DC adapter. There is no user interface on the Rivian for bi-di, and I suppose that is what Rivian means when they say "it is coming". Nothing...

Get a bi-directional DC charger with a high power inverter (and solar) designed to power a home. My R1T's battery runs our whole house great with the Sigenergy DC bi-di. It seems like between the R1T's battery and a good amount of solar during long summer days we could be off grid all summer...

I know most of you have seen True_Dad's video, but would folks like another video of a gen1 R1T and SigEnergy? I'm not generally a video making person, but can give it a go? I'm on net metered time of day billing with my utility, have high tariffs 5-9pm weekdays, and cheap nights and weekends...

Short answer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_15118

This is certainly a big open question for the whole industry. What happens if you move? Do you need to take your bidi DCFC with you? And replace it every time you get a new car? Or have multiple if you have two manufacturers' (or generations of same manufacturer) car? Given the house-side...

I get about 365mi with max pack and OEM Pirelli 20” ATs. Doesn’t seem to matter much if that is 70mph freeway or more basic driving.

I’m not sure how much it is really a “CCS1” thing versus an ISO standard. The YT video you’re talking about is a NACS R1. I too have the SigEnergy/Pointguard setup and my DC fast charger is NACS while my ’23 R1 is CCS. The beauty of a good standard is it just works. As best I can tell SigEnergy...

Wow ya'll have really nice setups! Mine is EXTREMELY simple: extension cord, camp table(s), InstaPot, and an electric hot water kettle and milk frother for the morning latte.
