The eRove, a Battery-Powered, Solar-Rechargeable Cooler

This week appliance manufacturer Furrion unveiled the eRove , a battery-powered and solar-rechargeable cooler with a 50-quart capacity. While it can be plugged into a socket or your car, or powered by its rechargeable battery, those of you seeking true off-grid independence will want to opt for their solar charging system. On a single charge the eRove can provide up to five days of cooling–14 days if you add ice–and has a temperature range of minus-8 degrees Fahrenheit, up to 50 degrees.

There are also USB and USB-C ports for charging other devices, as well as a wireless charging pad.

The eRove was successfully crowdfunded in a single day, having launched yesterday. Buy-in with the battery starts at $999, but the fully loaded kit with the travel wheels and solar charging panel cost $1,899. And that’s the pre-order price–once the eRove goes retail, that price jumps to 3 grand.

Here it is in action:

There’s still 30 days left to pledge.
