Edit: I live in so cal and the rates here are average 39 cents per KWH
I have a Model Y and a 7500kwh battery bank and I use it to charge my Tesla when I have excess but it's more like a hobby for me.
I have 900w of solar and plan to add more but on a great sunny day, I get about 4-4.5 kwh.
Then when you're talking about power loss moving it to the Tesla, I'm getting maybe 3.5 kwh.
That's maybe about 12 miles on a good sunny day.
I'll add more panels but with what you have have, you can maybe get 15-20 miles on a good day. If you drive very little it may work but it won't work for most people.
Like I said, I do it for fun because when my battery bank gets full, I need to dump it somewhere or else I lose all the excess energy.
We're talking about .32 cents per kwh which is fantastic.
The problem I see is buying from Wellbots and make sure the Oukitel still warranty their product buying from Wellbots.
I've bought from them before and I went through fine but I'm leary of buying high ticket items from them.

I'm talking to Tesla about getting two Tesla powerwalls and 7.2kwh system for 25k after incentives so that might be better for me. In so cal rates are averaging around .40 a kwh! I used to pay average of .19 cents 2 years ago... In the past 12 months I paid almost 4k in electricity..
These things are coming down fast in price, I'll just wait until there's a killer deal on ecoflows or ankers
Not in a rush - but still.
[Edit] Just got a fedex tracking number last night.

it would be perfect.
kitchen not really needed.
have some solar panels of at least 1000 watts.
refrigeration = 50-100 watts = most important
cooking? debatable how much you need but will be recharged by end of day.
heat/ac is the main issue hot temps will need 450 watts
heat will kill your power btw. preferably do not use heat and instead burn gas if necessary otherwise it will only last 3-4 hours for heat will need 10-20k system for heat instead and 3-4k panels.
baby steps and dont forget to claim tax credit
I've had mine for nearly two weeks. Here's some notes.
EDIT - Support has informed me that pressing and holding the USB button (that toggles the USB charge ports) puts the P5000 into silent mode. This seems to work, and a small mute icon appears on the LCD
I've had mine for nearly two weeks. Here's some notes.
Also, the ones that can do 240v will allow you to run central AC/ central heat. This unit cannot do that. Even if the capacity for running central AC would not last very long, it will work. More importantly, it will run central heat that runs on natural gas but still needs 240v electricity to run the thermostat and electrical component to turn on/control the central heat.
The EF ultra is a much different beast and far superior to this. The closer comparison is the EF Pro which is dropping in price dramatically (you should know, I believe you have posted or commented on some of those deals. It takes 2 unit to do 240v but at least it is capable of that. Even without 240v, it at least has a 14-30 outlet for interlock connection for your 120v devices.
1. You can enable silent mode (no beeping) by pressing and holding the USB button (that ordinarily turns the USB power output on/off) for 2 seconds
2. You can enable "Constant Power Output" mode by double-clicking the AC button. This mode enables the peak surge wattage the unit is rated for (~4000W) - otherwise it will run in a more efficient mode and overload around 2000W.
3. My unit was passing through/outputting 120V60hz power by default, leading me to think earlier customers might have received units in the wrong mode for their region. Frequency can be switched by pressing and holding the AC button + Power button for 3 seconds, and output voltage can be toggled by pressing the AC button ten times in a row.
So long story short, I would never buy from them again. If it wasn't for Wellbots I would have never received the unit back. I also saw someone post a video on YouTube that they sent the unit in for repair and never got it back. But the unit works good when it works
