• A new adjustable voltage mode enabling a range from 15V to one of three maximum voltages
(28V, 36V, or 48V) depending on the available power allowing the device being powered to
request specific voltages to a 100 mV resolution.
Why LTO?
The amount I need comes in under 40Lbs,
Fits in space unneeded by anything else.
As safe as LiFePo4
Can be charged in subzero temperatures
Very high charge/discharge rate
Very long cycle life. Over 20,000 cycles.
I can leave a discharged chair in the freezing van over night and be mostly charged before I reach Memphis. And I'll never need another set.

True. But if you had twice the capacity of lifepo4 you probably dont need to till it warms up some anyway.
... So each cycle is then 2 days long. So it would only need half the cycle life to live the same length of time.I can leave a discharged chair in the freezing van over night and be mostly charged before I reach Memphis. And I'll never need another set.
That applies to both chemistries is treated properly! At least if its not freezing. How often will this occur? If its often then you have no choice.
Secondly, electric cars are cool! They are silent and don't create noxious fumes. And you can drive for several hundred kilometres before you need to charge. Not that charging is a major problem in Norway – we have more than 3000 public charging stations, and 7753 fast chargers, all over the country. Say goodbye to range anxiety!
The easiest way to find a charging point is by checking ladestasjoner.no's map. To make sure you have access to charging stations, it's important to register with the major providers in advance. Norway has about ten of them.
“Even in the northernmost parts of Northern Norway – an area with huge distances, more reindeer than people, and really low temperatures in the winter – you can get around easily in an EV,” says Christina Bu.
If you want to take a road trip through the country, you can easily rent an electric car from most rental companies. In Geiranger and Flåm, eMobility has even set up a rental service for a scooter-car (a small four-wheeler) with two seats and open sides. Perfect for sightseeing!
Why? So I can wake up on a freezing cold morning, get to my destination, then realize the chair is dead?
I want the damn thing to charge overnight. That is why I plugged it in!
