For that price it might be better to get a solar panel, a 12V DC cooler which can be less than $150, and a few other DC items such as LED lamps. This would be cheaper and has the advantage of being useful for camping, picnics, cherry blossom festivals and so on.

1,500 watts available is pretty good. You could run your average american fridge on that! Every time i read a story on the i-miev, i’m extremely tempted to just say f*** it and buy one! Great info. Keep it coming!

Probably best to put the solar on the roof of your house.

Fantastic news. For the right person this car would let you drive to your cabin in the woods, power your appliances there over the weekend, and then go home without every having to be on the grid. Granted, if the distance was great, you might have to stop for a quick recharge or two, but the idea still works and future batteries will simply have more range.
