Has anyone found what the Dc-Dc charger capacity is for the smaller 12v battery from the 48v battery pack? Just curious how large of an inverter could be powered off of the 12V battery for standby power generation with the 12V powered by the 48v drive battery.

The HVB is 400v nominal.
The DC-DC Converter is 1500 watts if I remember correctly....

The GT models are reported to have a 220A DC/DC converter, which would limit you to around 1750W inverter output. Remember that inverters are not 100% efficient so the input wattage will be higher than the output wattage and must be accounted for so you don't overload the 12V system. The car needs 30-40A left to run its systems while on. Read the spec sheet and make sure the max inverter input amps does not exceed around 180A.

Vehicle must be left ON (not in accessory mode) while using an converter to avoid draining/cycling the battery, disable auto-shutdown if the power is needed for more than 30 minutes.

FYI the other select/premium models have only a 160A inverter so they should be limited to around 1250W output.

Also the HV pack is 350V nominal, not 48V.
