Very cool! Does he have plans to market this device? What would it cost to build one?

On the way over, after letting Elon know I asked, Grok estimated that it costs like $1500 to build. That said, I never actually asked @andy, and I know he is on a hardcore bitcoin standard, including as the unit of account. So I'm sure the price is in sats. I also know he really wants to get it going. I'm 100% sure that he'd sell you one today!

Yes, yo dolla will do no good here. Sats only.

With that being said, there are a variety of factors involved that impact cost, such as the need for a cellular radio, post/wall mount, do you already have an LND node setup, and wiring costs of your unique install location.

Also, the system setup is a bit manual at this time, so you'd need to be comfortable navigating through these instructions: https://github.com/AndySchroder/DistributedCharge/blob/master/docs/SystemSetup.md .

You can contact me if you'd like to discuss any specifics: http://andyschroder.com/contact/ .
