So at full rated output power, 5.5kW, it can supply that for 12 minutes (60*1.1/5.5), right? That doesn't seem to be much capacity. Running at say 1kW output you aren't even going to run for an hour. EDIT: The article must be b0rken. The spec sheet from Toyota says the storage unit capacity is 8.7kWh - where did the 1.1kWh get derived from?

It's an 8.7 kWh battery, so it can supply it for 1h35m (8.7/5.5). The 1.1 kW number is the power of the EV charging adapter for the system.

  The issue is that they say 1.1kWh, instead of 1.1kW, misleading you to believe that it can only output that much energy (total), rather than power (per hour).
