NEW LIFE FOR OLD EV BATTERIES by John Crawford

 You'll know that I am the arch skeptic when it comes to EVs taking over the world of personal mobility.

However, there are some really, really smart people out there who have found a way to 'turn a buck' from a concept few investors in renewable energy even consider.

Instead of littering the world with the detritus from old, used-up EV batteries, how about a concept which buys them cheap, harnesses about 20 together; hooks them up to solar PVCs; storing energy during the day, when prices are low; then distributing at night when prices are higher?

This video describes an amazingly simple account of out-of-the-box thinking that I think needs wider coverage. Copy and paste the link, I think you'll be impressed with this innovative idea:

I think all governments need to watch this.
