I'm interested to see if this leads to people living in places without power and using their truck as the sole source of electricity.

If you have a small cabin with no a/c, wood heat, and a propane stove - your house is going to use hardly any power compared to your truck. It would barely make a difference.

I just can't see this use case.

The power draw is probably fine, but the contention for the battery would be a problem. Think, "hey honey, can we put off the Costco trip until next week so we can leave the internet up, and lights on?"

Implementing a transfer switch and dummy load just to dump solar generation when your truck is being a truck would feel like a weird exercise.

But how would you charge the truck?

[onlyrealcuzzo]

At a charging station? A lot of people do a lot of their charging not at home already - at least in cities. Presumably this could / will be true in rural areas, too.

This is the opposite of what is usually said about EVs - that most people will charge them at home, overnight.

[Aperocky]

That will probably not happen.

The mentality is extremely different, you do at home what you can, to the maximum.

I'm interested in towing a small camper and using the truck battery for lights on the camper. That would upen up more camp site flexibility.
