"a high-efficiency, high-power-density inverter" :dunno:
An inverter converts DC to AC, but what "power density" means is anyone's guess. *-)

Maybe Mr. Airboatr will know.
Generally speaking inverters can't handle high current draw, of the type needed to operate an electric motor, because current in = current out; ( roughly speaking, you do get some losses) so I'm guessing they have found a way round it

Maybe they up the voltage so amps are lower? Must generate some heat = losses= though.

It's complicated, Mr Paul :dunno: - you know?

No matter which avenue is taken, there will be bumps in the road. ..and potholes and and bridges with tax trolls, .. and who knows what.
