I guess I'll need to buy 100 of these to get 300 miles range.
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank oharag1
I can't think of any feature I'd want on top of whatever it already has. The box is very durable and I did also by a bag for it. The app is pretty cool too.

The average EV uses about 320 watts per mile.
On most cars, you can put 200W of panels on there and it looks pretty bad, but we're giving it the best shot. You can usually stick a 100W panel on there and it still look alright.
And, you're not going to be getting that full 200W. On a very good, very sunny day you'll pull 160W between those panels. Winter and cloudy days, it looks grimmer but we're giving it the best shot here.
So in one hour, you'll have generated 160 watts of power. Nice!
Traveling on the highway at 60MPH in that hour you'll have used.... 19,200 watts of power.
Even if you parked in the sun for the entirety of an 8 hour work day, that's 1280w of power.
You can get that if you plug into a regular wall outlet and charge for an hour. And it'd cost pennies if you were paying for that energy.
For the application of using it for an EV, it's pissing into the wind. For an EV that people would drive as their primary vehicle, solar charging while driving is just not feasible to rely on. You're going to need to plug up.
However, if you have it as a battery to just power random things while you're camping or doing outdoor stuff then it's a pretty nice deal. Between this and 200W of solar you'll be able to keep your phones and laptops topped up even if you were constantly using them.
You'd be able to brew some coffee from a coffee pot, use some power tools, and generally do a lot of stuff with power outside of air conditioning and heating. Because they are really, really power hungry.
But just about everything else? Oh yeah that'd be a sweet set-up.
A very expensive set of jumper cables, but can also be well worth the money if you are dealing with a dead battery not near a charger (especially in a more urban environment).
1) Their software is really basic and lacks features you'd expect. For example: I tried to use mine to phase shift (turn off AC IN while AC OUT is on and run on batt power during peak hours) but you can't disable AC passthrough using the software; AC passthrough = AC IN + AC OUT at same time. The CS will say it can be done but if you escalate the case, the more knowledgeable techs will tell you that you cannot. I had to use a separate smart plug to turn off AC to the Delta 2 at peak hour to accomplish this.
2) Mine failed in about 4 months. It shows a battery fault indicator and the tech didn't even bother having me troubleshoot because they recognize it as a fatal fault. It's still covered under warranty but I've lost faith in the hardware and brand.
3) if you use it as a UPS: I've seen my lights blink off and then back on when AC in is disabled. I'm sure this would be horrible for sensitive electronics.
4) The wifi constantly disconnects even thought my wifi router is only a few feet away.
I have a couple of their non smart batteries and those have been great. I don't think I'd spend money on their large, smart batteries anymore.
Seems subpar, but 3 miles will almost certainly get you to an outlet somewhere in most of America. And if you run out of charge anywhere THAT far from electricity, that's really a you problem.
