That's honestly pretty dope. For anyone that didn't watch, he's charging off his home's roof top. The panels on the car probably do very little.
I want a close up on those batteries! That looks like a crazy amount of work. What happens as they wear out? How does he test for that? Given that they're recycled, you never know how many charge cycles they have. I assume the thing is modular?
Sure wish laptops still used 18650s. I haven't bought a new battery in ages, all recycled from old laptops and power tools.
It actually sounds like the van's panels (I'm guessing especially the large roof panel) can provide non-trivial power:
No doubt the huge array of panels on his roof can give it a lot more juice though!
