Looks like a portable generator with an integrated J1772 EVSE.

Off the top of my head, I’m not seeing any real benefit to having the two integrated.

One mile per minute from 9.6 kW maximum? That’s interesting math - most real EVs are around half that efficient per the EPA, and a lot of them can’t put 9.6 kW through the onboard charger anyway.

More PR than useful, relevant innovation.

Yeah, I noticed that too when I looked at it yesterday. 60 mi per hour recharge rate is nonsense. A Moldel S is about exactly half that. You'd have to have a vehicle that does about 150 watt hours per mile efficiency for that kind of mile per minute recharge rate. Maybe some electric motorcycles can do that, but I guarantee no motorcycles have a 10kW onboard AC charger.
