Not on the battery relay, no, but I have done some small scale hardware projects (>10k units) , and for something like this I’d need about 250k to make 10k units of a <$10 BOM setup like this. Not sure what any relevant certificates might cost though. At any rate it’s not going to be good for your vehicle warranty lol.
But they might be funding for marketing costs and other soft expenses. Nice project and a great jaunt for a year or two. I’m sure they will learn a lot. Good for them.
The real screwy thing here is it’s like they did no market research or customer testing here. There are already a multitude of cheap, sophisticated, highly effective solutions in this segment that are much less user hostile than this gadget seems to be .
