I'd like to have the possibility to charge other electric vehicles (mainly my motorcycle) from the 120v outlet on my R1T. Unfortunately the Rivian Portable Charger does not like the floating ground provided by the on board inverter for 120v. When I plug it in, the light flashes from white to green to red. The Portable Charger will not power anything and its light stays red.
My Tesla Mobile Connector on the other hand does not care about the ground and will happily charge things when powered by the R1T's inverter.
Inside EVs claims it can be done by using a neutral-ground bonding plug. When I plug in a bonding plug, the 120v outlets shut off without any errors on the screen or any indication why. I'm sure there is no problem with the bonding plug and that it is not shorting the hot line. I've tested it on other circuits without issue.
Has anybody else been able to use the Rivian Portable Charger when plugging it into the onboard 120v outlets?
