Even if the 48V system was available in a "key off" scenario, the 430 watt/hours of capacity-about 1/3 of a standard RV battery- is too little to be of any real use.
If rv, yes. But if you are looking to recharge laptop and cells, this should be very useful... It's worth about 10 Surface pro laptop batteries...

All I'm saying is that for that cost, you get a nice sized lithium battery and a powerful alternator that can recharge the battery fast when you need it.
I don't think I would get this as an option if they don't provide a way to tap the lithium power through 12v plugs while the car is turned off...
