Our battery completely changes that equation. Whether it's hooked up to a 120V or 240V connection, our battery charges gradually while you're not using it. Then, when you're ready to cook, it can quickly release the power it's stored up to achieve astoundingly high performance. We're talking 72,000 BTU/h. Compare that to 18,000 for the best gas stoves.

A lot of the EV batteries are likely to last 20+ years.

What do you mean with "last" exactly?

[–] silence7@slrpnk.net 1 points 10 months ago

I mean retain about 70% of their original capacity. Most of them seem to be holding up to that.
