Here I build an off-grid EV car charger for charging my car at home in case the power goes out. This will also save me money on higher ectricity costs due to having an Electric Vehicle. The all-in-one inverter is an EG4 6000 XP from LuxPower and Signature Solar. The battery is the EG4-WallMount Indoor Battery 280AH.
