“Slim fits in my garage”: Why EV owners are turning to Anker’s new ultra-thin battery

For Australia’s fast-growing EV community, the focus is shifting from the car in the driveway to the technology on the wall. As households look to “drive on sunshine” and reduce charging costs, Anker SOLIX X1 is emerging as the preferred energy hub for the modern electric garage.

Connecting smart living with electric mobility, X1 is gaining traction not just for its performance, but for addressing two major challenges for EV owners: limited garage space and energy integration.

Endorsed by the “EV Authority”

Among the system’s most vocal proponents is The Electric Viking, one of Australia’s leading EV commentators. Known for his no-nonsense breakdowns of battery tech, he has featured X1 across multiple videos to his 300,000+ followers. His verdict is succinct: “Slim fits in my garage, and it looks great.” For EV enthusiasts who often struggle to fit charging cables, storage units, and larger electric vehicles into standard Aussie garages, this endorsement highlights a key practical advantage.

Reclaiming the garage

At just 15 cm deep, X1 is significantly thinner than traditional “box-style” batteries. Its compact form allows it to fit effortlessly into tight spaces—between vehicle bays or alongside wall-mounted chargers—without impeding car door movement. Its all-in-one minimalist design integrates the power module, battery, and management system, eliminating cable and industrial clutter that typically accompany garage retrofits. It transforms the garage from a utility space into a clean, tech-forward showroom.

The “Drive on Sunshine” ecosystem

X1 is more than a space-saving solution; it’s the brain of a new energy ecosystem. When paired with Anker SOLIX V1 smart charger (part of Anker’s holistic solution), it unlocks the holy grail for EV owners: a true circular energy flow.

• Daytime: Rooftop solar feeds X1 and the home.
• Night / Peak: Stored solar energy charges the EV via V1, bypassing expensive grid tariffs.

This seamless integration means EV owners can effectively recharge their cars for free, maximising the ROI on both their vehicle and their solar investment.

Trusted tech for the tech-savvy

EV owners demand performance specs that match their vehicles, and X1 delivers. With a Top 5 ranking on SolarQuotes just months after launch and built-in VPP (Virtual Power Plant) readiness, it’s future-proofed for a grid where cars and homes interact dynamically.

By bridging the gap between a high-performance home battery and a smart EV charging setup, Anker SOLIX X1 demonstrates that the future of driving isn’t just about the car—it’s about how you power it.
