Ask Jigar: Is a $20,000 used EV the cheapest home battery you can buy?
A used EV costs $200 a kilowatt hour. A Powerwall costs $900.
In this episode:
Unsubsidized rooftop solar at $2,100 a kilowatt, and why Australia does it for half that
470,000 megawatts of data center requests on a grid with a 91,000 megawatt peak: "It's crazy town"
Why buying a $20,000 used EV means "you're getting the car for free just by buying the battery"
Everything else on the grid just makes steam. Solar doesn't.
