Another thing to keep in mind is that the discharge is currently in the hands of the owner, an owner that may or may not be discharging in the best way possible. The electric company controlling the charging stations can manage the flow of charge more efficiently and hopefully in a way that helps promote longevity. <br /><br />Another thing to keep in mind; using the "70%" rule where the weight/performance ratio means the battery is no longer useful as a EV battery means it can now be used as stationary storage somewhere else making the PUD's storage network that much bigger.

What would the "perpetual" draw/feed cycle do to the battery? Wouldn't this process impact the battery capacity in the world of 'duty cycle'? <br /><br />TomAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03051265454416814977noreply@blogger.com
