RE: Competition for lithium is about to get a whole lot worse.6 Jun 2022 11:44
Thoughts? The compelling physics of Lithium for EV application is it's position in the periodic table. This is NOT a factor for home energy storage. Good old lead acid will suffice, it's weight is not going to affect the range or performance of your garage, and whether the fire risk is of lithium real or not, there is much less chance of a lead acid battery installation burning down your house and neighbourhood.
If someone got smart and developed a lithium battery array with hot-swap modules interchangeable between house and car, now that's a different matter.
