    Does anyone know if this product is still available, and does anyone have experience installing and using it?

    I got an email from Randy Bryan saying that he shut down the business and sold out of the larger inverters. This was about a month ago.
    I never did find instructions for tapping into the traction battery -- which would be needed for any installation of an inverter.

    If anyone has experience drawing DC power from the traction battery, I'd love to see it, because the inverters are available (as string solar panel inverters).

    Doesn't all 5th gen Prime come with a 1500W inverter? Looking at what's left of their website, it looks like 3kW 24v and 5 kW 48v which doesn't seem as useful as what's already in the Prius.

    When PlugOut Power was around, it was offering 3 kW and 5 kW units, but I don't know where you got "24v" or "48v". Their output was 120 Vrms AC (or 120/240 split phase), just as you would find in a US home.
