It will charge an EV, but even dumping 3.84 kWh (minus small efficiency losses) isn't going to make a huge dent in most EV's batteries, so it's usefulness may depend on how much solar you can get into it. The (2x) 200W solar panels are pretty undersized to really recharge this power station. It appears to have 2 mppt solar charge controllers built in, but somewhat limited voltage input range (only up to 60v). If you're really trying to offset a lot of kWh for EV charging, probably best to look for a unit with higher MPPT input voltage max, and add a much larger solar array.

So can I use this most efficiently for charging EVs or not?

Thanks a lot for the response. I'm really very new at this and haven't been able to find much info.

A 200W solar panel costs about ¥100, but I would rather just buy the power station.

I too was looking to see what is the most cost effective way to offset charging and thought about a setup like this. It seems like even with residential solar setups in the 20k range only yields about 8kwh on a good day. I don't have a full EV just a plugin hybrid with a 14 kwh pack. 12kwh would suffice.

I'm honestly not that familiar with the larger power banks so I'm not sure which ones have mppt input ranges above 60V.

Pretty much you have to go custom charger and battery to get anything higher than 60v, which is 2 panels at most, a lot of high wattage single panels are 60v already.

FYI - if this was the F3800 PLUS, great deal, F3800s are can be found for well <2000.
Here's a side-by-side comparison of the key differences based on official specs and reviews:

Solar Input
F3800: Up to 2,400W max (dual ports, 11-60V range, XT-60 connectors).
F3800 Plus: Up to 3,200W max (dual MPPT ports, wider 11-165V range, 17A max per port, 1,600W per port).
→ Plus charges faster/more flexibly with larger or higher-voltage solar arrays (nearly double in some setups).
Generator Charging & Bypass
F3800: Supports standard 120V generator input; limited or no high-power bypass.
F3800 Plus: Supports both 120V and 240V generators (up to 6,000W bypass charging/output via Home Power Panel or adapter); better passthrough for seamless home integration during outages.
Ports & Outlets (notable changes)
F3800: Includes NEMA 14-50 (often highlighted for direct EV charging) and NEMA L14-30 (both for 240V up to 6,000W); standard USB/USB-C/car ports.
F3800 Plus: Swaps to NEMA TT-30R (RV-focused, 3,000W at 120V), retains L14-30R (6,000W 240V); adds extra USB-C ports, additional car socket; improved layout for accessibility; dedicated Home Power Panel (HPP) & generator adapter port.
EV/RV Charging
F3800: Strong direct support via built-in 14-50 outlet (EV mode available).
F3800 Plus: Improved RV compatibility (TT-30); EV charging may require adapters in some cases, but overall more versatile for mixed use.
AC Input/Charging
Both support ~1,800W standard AC recharge, but Plus adds 240V bypass options and higher generator input for faster/more powerful recharges.
Other Notes
Both expand similarly and output 6,000W (with surge higher on some configs).
F3800 may be quieter or cheaper now (as an older model).
Plus is positioned as the "upgraded" version for better off-grid/solar-heavy or home backup use.


Which to choose?

Go for the F3800 if you prioritize direct EV charging (e.g., via NEMA 14-50), already have lower-voltage solar setups, or want a potentially lower-cost option.
Go for the F3800 Plus if you want faster solar charging, better 240V generator compatibility, more modern ports/RV features, and future-proofing for larger solar/generator setups—especially useful for whole-home backup or off-grid living.

Is this practical for a whole home battery backups with an automatic transfer switch?

To know how many hours it will power your house, you need to know how much watt/hours you use, and then divide that into the watt/hour rating of the battery less the conversion loss when converting battery DC to household AC power. In my case this battery will only last a few hours--I know this via a usage monitor installed in my load center. It could be useful to me if I had some means of fast recharge, or just use it as some sort of buffer but that's only practical in a more elaborate system.

I know we talk deals here but where can i go to learn more about this stuff in general?

Basically, I have a solar array on my house I'd want to hook up to this. What else do I need?
