Battery Power's Latest Plunge in Costs Threatens Coal, Gas
On this topic: Does anyone know why we haven&#x27;t started to utilize electric cars as a mechanism for nighttime home energy?<p>It seems like having these batteries centralized is actually not the right solution, but instead that they should be at the edge, and connected to the home grid, such that they can be charged during the day, and decharged during the night to some maximum amount specified by the user.<p>A Tesla has 50kWh capacity and I typically use 6kWh at night - it seems like an obvious place we could leverage batteries already in existence to reduce the demand on central generation.
