12v power supply kW rating

Does anyone know the amps/kw rating of the 400v DC to 12v DC step down components (inverter + rectifier) on the Polestar 2? As noted by @ProfessorCook in his post, there is a 12v 175a fuse on the 12v bus bar that seems to indicate it should be at least 175a/2.1kw. I have a strong suspicion this 175a circuit is coming from the 12v DC step down power supply, but I prefer not to speculate on the capacity.

I'm scoping out a 12v inverter in the frunk, similar to to what people do to the Leaf to achieve an ugly but fairly straight forward V2L. While it is tempting to pull directly from the 400v side to reduce the amps+cable sizes required, the 12v bus bar is much more accessible - as are the components to do it safely. Anyone seen a mod like this on the P*2?

Did you ever figure this out? I am looking to do V2L, to recharge my Solix F3800 when we lose power due to a storm. I've read the "don't jumpstart another vehicle, you might blow a fuse" stuff, but can't find which fuse that would be and what the amperage draw would need to be to blow it.
