240V Outlet on Traveller

[brianlmccann]

As it stands, only the Tera has the 240V outlet. There is no reason for this and really needs to change. I only want the traveller but I need a 240V outlet. I think most people watching the presentation just assumed this would be on both.

The idea of a bi-directional charger is great, until the price starts becoming a factor. I really dislike the forced requirements and hardware to enable it on things like the F150 Lightning. I understand some of it and they are trying to limit liability, but overall too pricy vs me walking out and swapping the manual interlock and plugging it in.

Bi-directional charging is awesome. Or, rather, its awesome "sounding". Except to implement it I need a special charger, to pay a specific company to come install it, etc.

Which means at the end of the day, I'm way more likely to just back the thing out of the garage, and plug it into the manual transfer switch I already have, and use that like $30 cable .

I just plug in a bunch of extension cords and run the things I need from the 9.6 kW of onboard AC power.

I'll add a +100 to having a 240v outlet (or at least 120v@30A) on the Traveler (Be it in the frunk or in the interior somewhere). It'd be super handy for towing a camper/travel trailer somewhere, and then being able to power it off of the Scout itself once parked up, instead of having to lug around a generator.
