EcoFlow’s $200 PowerStream is so clever, you might buy a $4,000 solar generator (www.theverge.com)

Title reads like at ad, but this is a new way to reach energy independence. I actually have a small EcoFlow device and it’s pretty good for the price.

I hope this tech can be made available in the US soon.

Just to expand, here’s a list of typical 240V appliances in a typical American home:

  • Furnace/Heat Pump
  • Air Conditioning
  • Electric Range/Stove
  • Electric clothes Dryer

And some homes have:

  • Hot Tub/Spa

Don’t conflate 120V/15A standard outlets with not having 240V at all. All homes have 240V or high power appliances wouldn’t function.

I have a couple in my garage because the previous owner liked carpentry, and I'll use it when I get an EV.

That's not that uncommon.
