in the home, no thank you.
however within substations, or perhaps subdivision localized power storage facilities, or lets go even further, charging stations for cars, I can see it.
Utility setup and managed charging stations replete with a lot of battery storage soaking up wind, sun, and base line power when off peak usage times, providing both a source to recharge EVs and serve peak power usage times. To insure adequate power on hand they could charge EVs based on time of day to move people off peak.
because honestly, the last thing I want in six hundred to thousand pounds of lithium batteries in my home.

- joe_the_user 11y agothe last thing I want in six hundred to thousand pounds of lithium batteries in my home. Think for a second. If there was danger to the batteries then like a propane tank or similar thing, a home battery would be in an enclosure some distance from one's house.
- snowwrestler 11y agoI've got pressurized natural gas lines into my basement and running to my hot water heater, to my furnace, and to my stove. These appliances actually release and burn that gas, sometimes only a foot or two away from me. It's kind of crazy, if you think about it. I barely know a thing about how these work and why they are safe. I just pay professionals to show up and install or maintain the things--and that happens very rarely. No one has looked at my stove or water heater since the home inspection years ago. My point is, there are seemingly risky technologies all around us, which we ignore out of familiarity. I'm not going to buy the very first Tesla battery--I'm not an early adopter in general--but I see no reason to reject lithium-ion battery technology entirely. I mean, I press a small lithium-ion battery directly against my head on a regular basis, with only a thin sheet of glass to protect me.
