It definitely does, it's perfect for people that want to take their truck off-roading.

With today's rapid fast charging, would anyone here actually use this? Could someone explain more a good use case for this? I'm fine with 300kW charging

It would be good for emergency situations if you're running out of range or on a long trip.
