If energy is free or nearly free and it’s being wasted currently, then how much does the efficiency really matter?

- Retric 8y agoFirst if you can’t charge every day then your capital costs are effectively much higher. It’s only ‘free’ before you have a battery in place that can use it. With this buying at 3c/kWh and selling at 6c/kWh is losing money. If anything else can profit and scale by buying at 3.01c/kWh and selling at 6c/kWh then that’s going to win.

- Jabbles 8y agoIt may encourage energy to be generated unnecessarily, producing unnecessary CO2.
