Use RangeXchange to charge other stuff?

I'm wondering if we can use the cable to use our Airs as giant power banks to power AC for camping etc. Does anyone know the power output specs, like voltage and current?

You can't currently. RangeXChange will output 240V at up to 40A to another vehicle through the mobile charging cable. With some electrical engineering, you could trick the mobile charging cable into thinking it was plugged into a vehicle and get it to deliver 240V, but it is single-phase (not split phase), so no possibility of getting 120V out.

Thanks for the detailed response. Hopefully, someday we can unlock more use cases for the RangeXchange cable.
