The 'limited lifespan' of lithium batteries ma not be such a deal killer in the near term. As batteries in cars get used up, they aren't dead, they are just not powerful enough to be carried around anymore. After that, than can be put to use in stationary power while they continue to degrade. I suspect this is one of the reasons the powerwall makes so much sense for Tesla. The battery comes out of a car and then they re-sell it to go into somebodies house. There is a start-up in Melbourne working on this model as well. http://www.relectrify.com/ http://www.relectrify.com/
