The ambient temperature has a major effect on the ability to cool down that compartment, my thought is you'll have to pull cooled air from the interior of the coach in order to cool down the electronics involved or another source of charging the car. Actually your inverters are doing a great job at those temperatures and that current draw. It is what it is.

That is outstanding you did a great job Glenn. Out of curiosity can you tow a electric car or are you just going to use the coaches system to save money on charging?

From what I understand, you cannot tow electric cars with any of the drive wheels on the ground (maybe not even then). Since I have a 4wd Ionic 5 I can only put it on a trailer (which I have).
I am using my electric car to max load the electrical systems for now.
Most times I will be using my electric bikes or my electric tricycles and not even bring a car. The bikes will fit in a bay across from the inverters, but the tricycles need a trailer unless I fab something up for them to hang on the back of the coach.
