[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 505888, member: 6969"] I would NOT entertain the idea of using an EV battery for general house storage. I saw a good analysis of a typical EV battery usage, given the range of the car on a full charge, and charging once when flat, then given the expected life of the battery in charge / discharge cycles, it was clear that the battery would last well in excess of 200,000 miles. So in practical terms the battery should last the life of the vehicle. Start charging and discharging it daily for house use as well and you would kill the battery life and it would be unlikely to do that same 200K miles. That brings you to a good question to ask, if buying a second hand EV: "Has the car battery ever been used for home or grid storage?" If yes, the car should be devalued appropriately. [/QUOTE]
