…later it only costs me a net 0.96p per kWh to ‘store’ energy that way. And, remember, this is when the weather isn’t all on my side.

PS. This doesn’t mean I could do without the actual battery. My electricity is only 12p per kWh because I only import it when the time of use tariff sets that price. At other times of day the price is either about 27p or (during the evening peak) over 36p. The local battery enables me to buy cheap and run everything off what I’ve stored (or direct from solar) during all those more expensive periods.

@christineburns@mastodon.green And let us not forget, with the correct grid connections we can use the Batteries in our vehicles as accumulators, smoothing out the grid during the day, by charging when demand is low, as sending I to the grid when demand is high.
