I have an existing 240/120V manual transfer switch with outside generator hookup installed feeding a handful of loads. My electric vehicle has with a 1800 W / 120V 'Vehicle to Load' adapter. I'd like to add a 2nd MTS to supply a few 120V loads from the EV, which would give me a backup fuel source. Also my generator died and by moving 120V loads to the EV, I can go with a smaller conventional generator on the existing MTS. From what I've read I think there are no problems with the concept? Just looking for any red flags. (Note - I'm still digging into whether the EV's inverter has a floating neutral and any ramifications of that). Schematic
