EcoFlow’s $200 PowerStream is so clever, you might buy a $4,000 solar generator (www.theverge.com)

Title reads like at ad, but this is a new way to reach energy independence. I actually have a small EcoFlow device and it’s pretty good for the price.

I hope this tech can be made available in the US soon.

From the article:

And when there’s a power outage, the PowerStream will turn off automatically to ensure there’s no electricity in the wires in order to protect line workers from shock. The PowerStream will only turn back on when the grid power returns.

But isn’t a power outage the time you need it?

I think its more that you can supplement you normal power draw so your electricity bill isint so high

Then you can just use the sockets already present on the device.
