Don't forget to talk to your local power company one year in advance. They will need to upgrade your local substation transformer... :-)

This build is 3kVA max. That’s about 1/3 of a current gen EV, only 15% of an original Tesla Model S with dual chargers, and about equal to a standard American oven. This is much more polite to the grid than, say, a couple of tea kettles or especially a reasonably sized electric tankless water heater.
