sounds like a perfect opportunity to get careless car owners to destroy their own property for a company's revenue.
especially hilarious if the car owner doesn't use an expensive UPS between the grid and the car. I'm sure the next lightning storm isn't too far off - and some of the plugged in cars won't survive it.
I'm not against EV though. There'll however be a lot of growing pains as they take over the cities. (though thats still far off)
This can be modelled with net present value accounting. If, at scale, it is financially worth it for Tesla to manufacture giant batteries for the electric grid then it will also be financially viable for the electric grid to use spare battery capacity.
li-ion battery lifespans are generally calculated in power cycles. They don't really age with years...
Generally, power cells have about 300-500 power cycles until there is a significant drop in performance. This is one of the major faults of EV that is often quoted, as some parts of the batteries aren't recycled. So, you're essentially trading the co2 pollution to toxic waste.
maybe you should check the facts before you spout nonsense yourself?
> But, overall, the data offer some basis for confidence that a Tesla Model S will lose—on average—less than 15 percent of its battery capacity over the average 150,000-mile (250,000-km) life of a vehicle.
