This is the big snag with EVs (as with solar panels and wind turbines): how much does a battery really cost if you factor in recycling and environmental damages? (Sorry about the slideshow format.)

thanks for the link!

that looks super DIY though... having to get the BMS, and then wiring it up properly is beyond my skills, I'll probably go with a server rack battery that has the BMS other nice features built in.

yes. i agree.

What i am saying, as for reuse, i want a company to start up that builds and sells the reuseable EV batteries as home storage. no need for us to get our hands dirty, or even know what BMS is.
