Any thoughts on how the new Tesla Powerwall can be used in an RV or Tiny House? Seems like a perfect solution for off the grid power with Solar Energy.
The first Tesla Energy product is ‘Powerwall Home Battery,’ a stationary battery that can power a household without requiring the grid. The battery is rechargeable lithium-ion — it uses Tesla’s existing battery tech — and can be fixed to a wall, removing much of the existing complexity around using a local power source. For one thing, the company’s batteries cost $3,500 for 10kWh and $3,000 for 7kWh. They are open for pre-orders in the U.S. now; the first orders will be dispatched “in late summer.”

Some discussion going on at the link below, but it doesn't sound like it's viable for RV'ing.
