A man used BYD electric car to power the whole house during power outage.
Recently, a BYD electric car owner shared his experience of using BYD Song PLUS DM-i to power his whole house.
He said that the power was off for an afternoon, and he couldn’t take it anymore.
Suddenly, he thought that the external discharge power of Song PLUS DM-i was not bad, so he cut a plug and connected it to the main switch, and plugged the other end into the car power strip. It worked out after a try.
The photo shows that during the external discharge of BYD Song PLUS DM-i, the discharge power is 0.7KW, and it is connected to:
- a television,
- a refrigerator,
- two computers,
- router,
- light bulbs
It is understood that BYD Song PLUS DM-i 110KM version supports external discharge, the maximum power can reach 3.3KW, and the full power can be discharged at about 15 degrees. It can even use oil to generate electricity. One liter of oil can generate 3 degrees of electricity.
In addition to BYD Song PLUS DM-i, BYD’s Tang series, Han series, Seal and other hot-selling electric vehicle models are also equipped with “VTOL mobile power station” technology, which is indeed the first choice for camping enthusiasts.
What is the function of VTOL mobile power station?
What’s the difference between VTOL mobile power station and mobile power station?
The function of the VTOL mobile power station is actually to convert the high-voltage direct current of the power battery into 220V alternating current through the inverter or the on-board charging system and then output it to the outside.
At this time, the vehicle can be regarded as a large mobile power supply, and the external discharge socket is connected to the AC charging.
After connecting to the port, other electrical equipment can be connected, which is mainly used to solve the problem of electricity consumption during outdoor travel and improve the car experience.
In addition, through the function of VTOL mobile power station, the vehicle can also be used as a large mobile power bank to reversely charge other new energy vehicles.
The principle is the same as that of ordinary external discharge.
When the charging gun is connected, VTOV vehicle-to-vehicle charging can be realized through external discharge.
At present, there are also dedicated charging lines between two new energy vehicles.
The difference between VTOL mobile power station and mobile power station
The meaning of VTOL is actually mobile power station, so both actually refer to the external discharge function, there is no difference, but different car companies have different names for this function. Electrical appliances can also be used to charge other new energy vehicles.
However, the configuration list of some models will separate the mobile power station and the VTOL 220V power output, both of which are actually external discharge.
The difference is that the mobile power station is powered by the slow charging port of the vehicle, while the VTOL 220V The power output is discharged through the trunk in the car or the socket in the rear row.
The mobile power station can only be used when parking, and the VTOL 220V power output can be used during driving.
