I just installed a small transfer panel to switch a few critical circuits, i.e., furnace, refrigerator, Wi-Fi, TiVo, TV. These pull a maximum of about 1500 watts continuous. The Mach-e provides power from its LVB via a 2000 watt inverter. The HVB keeps the LVB charged while the car is totally off. Coincidently, we had a two hour power failure last evening which interrupted our TV viewing for only 10 minutes...the time it took to plug-in inverter, etc.
