Electric vehicle charging cost
Interesting article, Gas is cheaper to fuel than a Tesla, which on top of charging cost, has a battery which apparently depreciates $1000 a year. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4160351-tesla-model...

Hi Gdetrailer,
I can't even let my remote start generator sit for 2 weeks. If I do the battery is so dead it doesn't even click. Todays cars have a ton of parasitic loads.
When there are several million electric cars with "smart" home chargers the batteries may well be used for load balancing, reducing the need for peaking plants.
Here is a video that may interest folks:

The video suggests that everything but the electrolyte may be recycled.

At least with a ICE, it can sit for months on end and not have to be plugged in, wasting the power grid capacity.. Imagine what would happen if there where several million EV cars plugged into the grid 24/7/365 all sucking up hundreds of watts of energy..
Yeah, the power companies will love you for that..
