makita is releasing a portable microwave that runs off the same battery as its powertools (like you take the battery out of your power drill and plug it into the microwave)

also dying at the opening line of this news article being "no it's not april fool's", followed by "seriously, we asked"

this uses makita's 40V battery which means you can, in fact, hotswap it with your makita electric chainsaw's battery

Alternatively you could hot swap it with your Makita™ espresso maker

you can power you microwave and coffee maker on the go with your tron-ass battery backpack

it's really quite cool

we hate to fangirl over a commercial project but this one is fun and inventive

(although please note that these battery compatibility ecosystems are a tool for corporate hegemony through lock-in, and that's almost certainly the business incentive behind the microwave)
