Inertia - The trucks are loaded and rolling from regional to regional. Getting the solutions configured and shipped out and meeting the trucks at the next regional, implemented and rolled out to the next events I'm sure is an effort. And they are most certainly busy setting up for the CMP.
The cost of implementing the power cable solutions means that something else isn't getting done. It is an economic opportunity cost problem.
Having the battery / invertor combo is great for demos. You can solve two problems at once.
