There’s nothing more inconvenient than a power outage when you’re in the middle of a work deadline or simply chilling at home with the TV on and the air conditioner or fan on full blast. In times like these, you’d wish you have a generator but not just any. After all, you don’t want to contribute to air and noise pollution. You’d want to opt for the silent and non-gas types just like those offered by MAXOAK. The US-Chinese brand has a new renewable energy start-up on Kickstarter: the BLUETTI EP500/EP500 Pro that guarantees you your money’s worth when it comes to portable, powerful, and efficient power stations.
Backed by the success of MAXOAK’s previous power stations, the crowdfunding already has 623 backers even weeks prior to the product launch. It has pulled in an unbelievable $1 million in less than an hour and is now near $3 million. This is an amazing feat given the goal of just $10,000 and with still 56 days to go.
Product Preview
You might wonder what makes the BLUETTI EP500 and EP500 Pro extremely competitive even against Tesla’s Powerwall or Sonnencore. Aside from being silent and non-toxic because they don’t release fumes or gas, they also operate off-grid.
Both support solar energy panels so you can live in comfort while in the grand outdoors. They feature pure sine wave inverter, seamless 24/7 UPS backup protection from power outages, a minimalistic, travel-friendly yet robust construction, and powerful energy output.
The EP500 and EP500 Pro offer 2000W and 3000W battery output, respectively, for endless charging possibilities anytime and anywhere. They can support small and big home and kitchen appliances and other tech and entertainment gadgets. They can even charge electric vehicles.
Moreover, both feature 5100Wh of LiFePO4 battery storage that guarantees you 6000 charge cycles. The battery has great temperature resistance, robust, charges fast, and fire-resistant.

This gives you 240v/4000W of transferrable energy that can power heavy-duty machines including air conditioners, electric stoves, heaters, and more.
