I'm in the process of installing (20) REC panels, Tesla Powerwall 3, and Tesla backup gateway. Because the Powerwall 3 has much better throughput than the Powerwall 2 I was planning on leaving all of my circuits, including my EV charger, on the backup gateway so I could still charge my car during a power outage. My concern is whether or not this would add too many power cycles to the battery during non outage times. Would normal daytime EV charging go through the battery or does the system pull directly from the panels and charge the car without involving the battery? If not maybe I should leave the EV charger out of the backup gateway and only be able to charge during non outage times?
Any advice is appreciated!
