"a high-efficiency, high-power-density inverter"
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.

Fair enough.
It's complicated, Mr Paul

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.
