Those who paid attention in physics class will know that heat is an energy form in a new guise. The solar energy is stored in a lightweight lithium-iron-phosphate battery, which supplies a climate blower, the lights, the infotainment system and other ancillaries. Overall, the battery weighs around 1,091 lbs, including the OneBox.
