It can power your house for 3 days, but can only go 300 miles? Doesn't sound right.

That's pretty broad. I think it's neat. Pricing starting under 40 grand.
Seems like it's not going to be too hard to purchase one for most.

Must be the amp draw when running versus the amp draw when used stationary-
Or the way they transform/ convert the DC-
Interesting though-

Interesting. That article also makes me concerned about power consumption in cities. I'm not ready to jump yet. When they can make it so I don't get stranded because my battery is dead, then I'll be more interested.

They should put those poles on the roof so when you are in the city you just connect to the overhead power lines like the buses do. They could be roof racks in the country and then extend in the city to power up.
