Problem with powerwalls is they use lipo technology, so we are back to the use of rare metals with no recycling.

I believe the study with vehicle packs was done, but the source was biased IIRC and the conclusions suspect. Kinda big losses going back & forth between wall and pack.

There are many homes with whole house lead acid batteries in the 20+ kwh range in use right now.
