More toward your question. ABB has been doing research of using Volt and leaf batteries that are no longer good for car use but have a lot of life left in them for solar storage.
There is going to be I big supply of EV batteries when the current cars get older. I will be looking at adding this to my mix when there is a low cost solution. This may be something for you to look at also.

Mark,
I heard about the Volt battery program. Apparently there's a lot left in the batteries after their automobile life is over.
