Any idea if these models are capable of using for homes if there are power outages?

No, not even close. It'll be able to power several critical circuits though, such as your fridge and some small appliances

What is the point of charging an EV with another battery pack? An EV itself is just another big battery pack so if you own an EV, you dont need any of these power stations because it is just a build in function with your EV. In addition, the energy storage in these little battery power stations is not enough for any meaningful EV usage.
It's just additional capacity. It has a purpose.

Absolutely. If you're looking for whole home backup, snag the Delta Pro.

I was thinking this too.. only thing I can think of is if you've only got 110v (~1800w max?) in your garage your car might not charge so quick, but you can be charging this thing while you're gone and then come home and get a couple hours of double speed charging at 3600w.

Doesn't seem all that good of a value proposition at $2900 just to do that but, hey I dunno, you can go rescue your EV-owning partner/friends if they run out of juice? lol

This one says it will run a hairdryer for 2 hours. I would not consider this a reliable backup power source alone.

So, judging from the majority of responses to my comments, it's safe to conclude this somewhat of a large glorified mobile battery pack for smaller appliances. The thought of an electric generator is very appealing. too bad the tech isn't there yet.

Thanks!

Good question. The eco flow can be directly recharged by solar panels, while the vehicle cannot. So if you want to be able to recharge your EV with solar panels, hook up your panels to the eco flow and the eco flow to the EV

Repped for recognizing the importance of a well-kept woman. Disaster and JBF hair do not have to be mutually inclusive.

I don't know about you but I'm going to buy one of these so I can leave it in the trunk of my EV just in case I may need an extra charge. Those 15 miles it'll give me will make all the difference, especially after the weight of this reduced the range by oh say those 15 miles LMAO

Seriously, just because you can do something doesn't mean you should Big Grin

I don't really get off how these guys charge this much for this. Batteries are well under $200/kWh but this thing holds a whopping 3.6kWh and it's nearly $3k!? Obviously it's got the inverter and some other costs in it but it seems like their margin must be insanely high on this.
