Honda e as a mobile power source for a seeder, lawn mower, bicycle or ... other electrician [video]

One of the most interesting features of the Honda e that we think should be in every electric car is the 230V outlet that supports up to 1,5kW of power. Nyland tried to use them to charge a second electrician, his Tesla. And we did it!

Tesla charging from Honda e - not very fast, but works

Honda's built-in inverter is reliable enough if it allows loads of up to 1,5 kW. When we are at a camping, such a power reserve is enough to connect a TV, several LED lamps, speakers and a Wi-Fi router with an LTE modem, so as not to go too far from civilization 😉

> The cost of the fully autonomous driving (FSD) package in Tesla has already increased to 7,5 thousand PLN. Euro. For Poland: 6,2 thousand euros. Network?

Connected to the Honda, the Tesla showed a starting voltage of just over 220 volts and an amperage of 6 amps, probably installed on a wire. This gives about 1,3 kW of power. But the Model 3 also had its own needs (a screen, possibly a cooling system) that consumed some of the energy supplied from the outside.

After two hours of experimentation, the Honda e's battery is 94 percent to 84 percent discharged. (-10%). Nyland calculated that this corresponds to 2,9 kWh of energy. Tesla Model 3 batteries, on the contrary, are charged from 20,6 to 23,8 percent (+3,2 percent), that is, they gained 2,2 kWh. This means that the overall process is 76 percent efficient - 24 percent of the energy is wasted keeping the Honda running and lost somewhere in the Tesla.

2,2 kWh is about 12 kilometers of additional power reserve. After two hours of charging.

> Tesla with the worst score in the JD Power study. 2,5 problems per car in the first 90 days of operation
