I couldn't agree more with your point about electricity car take-up. I've made the same point in the past but it's always gotten a lukewarm reception. In my mind, it's probably our best chance of achieving sufficient scale grid energy storage. It's also kinda brilliant on Elon Musk's part: he's selling people these 'mobile grid batteries' while also being super long solar.

The other problem is fear of degrading battery capacity through lots of cycles. In time, both of these could be solved, but for now, they're valid concerns that haven't been disproven.
