The volt batteries dump maybe 700 watts of heat into my battery coolant tank during a 30 minute freeway trip from my ex-job to home or vice versa, giving a 10 degree rise above ambiant. The Kostov / soliton is radiating an average of 1.5 k watt because that's what I planned on cooling and do not overtemp limit. The truck uses an average of 450 wh/mile with the high being 2.5kw on a 6% hill.

One would think the F-150 is much more efficient than my 30 year old technology in a bumpy brick shaped non aerodynamic vehicle.
