Meh, I know it's over $4000 but still. Cool.

It looks like a battery pack with a built-in pure sine wave inverter.

Thought this was about the Honda Civic Hybrid. They use a 120 volt battery.

That is fascinating.  A couple of those would be an interesting alternative to an onboard generator, depending on your needs...  Or charge it off your generator and run it half the time.    Would road vibrations cause problems for it?

An inverter and a huge bank of batteries would do the same thing probably at lower cost.  The onyl good thing about this would be if it uses lithium batteries.

which it does, at 58 pounds but only 1200 watt hrs. 20 amp ac

Pricing on the 2000 watt version is $4,356.  One could build a pretty nice lithium battery bank like Technomadia did for that kind of money.

It is not designed for large storage. It was designed for fast charge and discharge; charge while braking/going down hill and discharge accelerating/going up the next hill.
