Trump, Kristi Noem and Greg Bovino claim Pretti was a ‘gunman’ who wanted to “massacre law enforcement.” That is directly contradicted by video evidence of the incident reviewed by the Guardian.

Video evidence reviewed by Guardian shows Alex Pretti, killed by agents in Minneapolis, held a phone, not a gun

I mostly object to the fact that on a sunny, heavy use day, our battery is done by 9pm, which is something that will only get worse once we adios the ducted gas.

I don't want to play on Amber, and our house isn't high energy needs, but a single PW2 doesn't give us much

We just need a little more.

Yup.

Hardly your fault. 🙂

Where I have got to is thinking the simplest answer for us is going to be figuring out a really solid V2L arrangement once we get the EV.

It would be good to have a bigger battery to give us the flexibility, but given I WFH and the EV would be my car, we have options.

Yeah. A day on it looks like I overstated my case. The real answer is somewhere between "it might be possible, but it'll be complicated" and "no" still though.

It shouldn't be that hard.

Yeah. Our battery install was 2019. Not much competition back then!

That diagram has cooked my brain. I can't do this at the end of a 40C day. 😛

Actually, I would be interested in your thoughts: What do you reckon the most Honda Jazz EV is on the market at the moment?

It doesn't feel great. In my defence, I still haven't given him a cent of my money.

Somebody somewhere is going to use this as an opportunity for the most epic hydroponics setup.

I'm not across the specifics, but there's a legal requirement to seek approval from the DNSP for installation of DER in most (/all?) states. They look after safety and compliance and are in charge of managing the DER's impact on the grid.

Not only that, but if one battery in a powerwall 2 home battery array fails under warranty, Tesla needs to replace all of them with PW3s.

Though going by the forum thread I read about it the other day, you are in for one hell of a fight with customer service.
