Just stumbled upon this. Dunno if it's for sale yet but they are publishing their prices. Naked system costs 16,100 Euro and includes
  • Batteries complete with BMS, built in protections
  • High-efficiency power controller/inverter
  • System control module (communication & cockpit battery charger)
  • Advanced CANbus communication between units
  • Data logging
I clicked a configuration that includes nice to haves such as propeller, charger, EFIS and other basics and see a more realistic price of around 27,000 Euro. Pretty neat though since it's probably the most mature system on the market and a one stop shop kind of deal.

Any thoughts about this or ideas how to use it in a home build? Wonder if you could build a slippery single seater that fits the system and increase the 1h endurance of the Alpha.
