If the inverter is only rated for 5kW Continuous and 7kW Peak, you're not going to be able to charge a car at 10kW, no matter how full the battery is or how much the solar is generating at that moment. Now, if you want to dial the car down to 20 amps (4.8kW) and let the rest of the stuff on critical circuits run in the house, you could do that while the sun is shining and the battery is full...Correct, if the inverter can handle it. Charging a Tesla at 40 amps and running your AC off of a single PowerWall 2 will not work. If you have 10kW of solar and a clear sky, plus a full PowerWall 2, you can do that for a while most likely.
