Travato comparison
Looking at Winnebago Travato to compare against, we can see the useable capacity is 8.7 kWh. That should still be enough to power a high-efficiency air conditioner overnight when cooling load is relatively low.
Another difference may be that Travato system by Volta uses the same battery chemistry as autos like Tesla and Chevy; which makes me wonder why it’s so expensive. I suppose the low volume and custom items like a second alternator adds a lot of cost.
One advantage for Travato is that 58V alternator is nearly twice as powerful and can recharge in 2 hours of driving. To me personally, that’s a minor advantage because when I drive, it’s usually for much longer than two hours. However, for those who boondock and want to recharge battery quickly after running A/C all night, the faster one can recharge the better.
