Charging an EV from a Sorein Power StationUpdated a day ago

It's impractical to try to recharge an electric vehicle from a portable power station, for three primary reasons:

1. Portable power stations (and gas generators) generally use a "floating neutral" system. The EV's charging equipment will see this as an "open ground" and refuse to connect to it. Click here for more about "open ground errors."
2. Even if the "open ground" situation was bypassed, the largest portable power station would add only a few miles of range to a vehicle. A typical EV has a battery between 60kWh and 110 kWh capacity. Sorein Power Stations range from 1 kWh to 8 kWh. This would be between 7-13% of the EV's battery capacity, or about 15-25 miles of range.
3. The charging rate would be very slow. At maximum output, a Sorein with 2200W inverter and the maximum 8kWh battery would take 3.6 hours to transfer its energy to the EV.

AIR GEAR does not recommend using the Sorein Power Station for EV charging.
