True. So far we've been lucky with most EV ownership being guys who have garages, so charging usually happens slowly over night when power is cheap. That will change
Hopefully v2g comes to help too! It's a huge opportunity. I don't really need 60kwh of power sitting there all the time, not when the grid would gladly pay me a premium for it
The main problem on NCA chemistry is worries of longevity. That could cut my expected battery mileage in as much as half of EoL. So instead of getting 400,000 miles from my Model 3 SR battery, it’ll be 200,000. Waaaay too short for me. I drive 30,000 miles/year and I wanna keep this car until at least 2030.
Edit: however there are other Sodium/Iron chemistries that are suuuuper promising for this kind of application.
