Anyone researched Telsa's 7kW battery?

I think Tesla's battery technology would be a good fit with RV's. First it's not very efficient to store and use energy at either 6 or 12 volts. Higher voltages are much better from an I squared R loss point of view.
Charging them would be very easy when at a campground with full hookups. It would also be easy when traveling if the generator was used. Alternators could be designed to output 110 vac or lower voltage alternators could be used with dc to Ac converters to charge them while traveling.
Using the energy from a high voltage battery bank is much more efficient then 12, 24 or 48 volt battery banks.
Bottom line is storing and using energy at higher voltages is good. High tension lines are high voltage for a reason.
