Apples and oranges. This is a stationary generator in a steel permanent mounting container. Look at car engines that easily deliver 100kw of power while weighing 1/10 of that diesel generator. Heck, take a transaxle from a Prius as the motors are already PM and bolted to an engine and you have

Yes, the sheet steel shroud adds weight, but not near as much as the generator itself, which the car engine doesn't have. I don't know the weight of the Prius powertrain. Is it capable of the 50kW continuous estimated for the full size pickup? PM would definitely increase the continuous power

I have 144v of 100Ah cells. You're going to have 120Ah so should get a little more range. My truck uses short bursts of 300amps to get going and around 60 amps to maintain 40mph on level roads. I have a couple of steep hills near me, however, that I need 500amps to climb. I'd be very concerned
