Yeah, I see it as good news, and a step towards improved camping and touring.

I’m interested in seeing specifications; not that I’m interested in large RVs, but expect same technology to filter down to smaller Class As and Cs also. Van-based Class Bs were first because they are pricier to start with, and the lower energy requirements made the Volta system less expensive than for large rigs.

I hope (expect) that the solar part of the system is also at 48-Volt nominal like the Volta batteries, alternator, and inverters. With enough roof area it should be possible to collect 1,000 Watts or more, making it easy to recharge batteries without alternators or generators indefinitely as long as air conditioning isn’t needed.

Most of the larger motorhomes with Volta systems have enough battery capacity to run at least one A/C overnight without having to run the engine or a separate generator.
