@TechConnectify@mas.to that's one beefy alternator to build into the car solely for this probably rarely-used purpose - or does the car have internal 120V receptacles anyway?

    @lambda@chaosfurs.social Every E-GMP platform car comes with this ability from what I gather, regardless of whether they have an outlet on the interior or not. Mine does also have that outlet (and it uses the same invertor), but a key part of this feature is that the car stays "asleep" so you don't have all the other accessory loads competing for energy.

    @lambda@chaosfurs.social @TechConnectify@mas.to It's an EV, so it's an inverter. EVs already use inverters to drive the traction motors. This is using the same functionality to drive a hotplate.

    @lambda@chaosfurs.social @TechConnectify@mas.to external vehicle to load (V2L) adapter; it uses the EV charging point through an inverter to provide single-phase ~110V AC. This is becoming standard for EVs now
