Factory Charger in 120v mode - 11 amps

[Hammered]

Someone made a claim about the draw, the answer is 11 amps on the nose. Not 12, 13 or 15, -- 11 peak.
The truck holds voltage at 120v on the nose via DC-AC inverter (270v DC to 120v/240v split phase AC).

I've seen it go between 11 and 12 amps. It might depend on the voltage too, if it sees too much voltage drop it may back off on the amps. A lot of times those inverters run at 115V instead of 120V.

Not the powerboost's liquid cooled units. Can't speak to the 12v versions but the hybrid's units won't even deviate 1v on the 240v feed at 7.6kW and that's likely v droop due to the wiring itself going to the unit from the inverter (all 10 feet of it). I've done multi-hour sustained testing on the high voltage fed units and it doesn't so much as blink (also monitoring with FLIR looking for hotspots). Even the 220a DC/DC 12v unit is incredibly responsive to soaking up all of the vehicle's loads taking no more than 'surface' voltage from the 12v batts with 60a 12v bus spikes at 120a which barely blinks 1a draw from the batts.

I've found that w/ the same charger, vehicles themselves can vary the amperage with different behavior from a bolt EUV and the MME. The bolt's onboard charger would fluctuate amperage while the MME is quite solid.
