Questions :
1. Does this portable charger come in different sizes? Woul love to see a bike or motorcycle version.
2. Do we buy these our selves and take them on long trips or are we buying the service from the company?
3. Can it charge only vehicles or can it charge anything that uses a Li-Ion battery?
Would love to know more. 🙂

Great project!
TC, how about going the extra mile and posting a little more information about the project in the description, i.e. website, Twitter, crowdfund…
Of course, everybody can google it, but since you’re making a video about a top project, would be really helpful if one could use the links to look them up promptly.
Thank you in advance! 😊

Great idea, but Tesla might come out with a similar product in the future. Also, they should add the ability to charge the battery through solar.

@Baxtor Howle I don’t think they will.

@MysticJimmy7 Yes they will, one pack contains 3.4 kWH battery which equals to 12 mile range on Tesla Model 3 base. It takes 12 minutes to charge and normal cost for that is around 21 cents in NY per 1 kWH. The packs also need to be recharged and he mentions solar charge which for 3 KWH would take 3 hours on a sunny day.
I can see this being with tow companies and other road side assistance services but nothing like the way he tries to scale it.
