Yes, I am posting yet another eBox thread because of the recent developments and the fact that I can't find them mentioned anywhere on this forum. I searched and searched, so there!

As far as I know the AC Propulsion eBox was never produced and only a few people got one-off versions. Tom Hanks and possibly Alexandra Paul have one. More info on the original eBox Here

Now for the Update: The new eBox design integrates V2G technology. That is Vehicle-to-grid, which basically means that when you plug the car into the electrical grid to charge it will wait until an off peak time to charge so it reduces the power grid load during peak times. Additionally if it is plugged into the grid during peak times it can sell back power to the grid so the grid won't be overloaded. All of this charge/discharge fancy stuff sounds great, but you are thinking what if I wake up in the morning and my car didn't charge because it was selling power back during the night for whatever reason. Well thankfully they have it setup so the car talks to an aggregator's server and blah, blah, technobabble. Basically it can be scheduled to charge when you want it charged so it will be ready whenever you need it.

The Original eBox was white with green trim. This is the 2nd prototype with V2G tech.
