The vehicle to grid thing is dead as far as I can tell.
If the power wall uses these cheap sodium tin wood batteries why is it just about the most expensive way to get 13kwh of storage anyone has yet devised?
Plus I thought I read that the power wall uses some traditional Li-ion chemistry, which means it uses cobalt.
I made a post about cobalt in the fossil fuel free forum a fee days ago about all the problems with cobalt.
Plus 13kwh is kind of useless for off grid. I would be looking at installing at least 100kwh if I were to go off grid.
