Then why is he charging a ridiculously high price for something that's not even close to fully functional and wouldn't be worth that much even if it were? It's about the money.
That sounds rather high, I'd expect closer to half that. Remember this is not for high powered fast charging. Need not be behind the rear wheels either since it's a relatively thin profile.
