4 Reasons I Chose an EV Battery for Home Energy Storage

I think its now clear Electric Vehicles are here to stay.. so what is happening with all of those batteries? I talk about the need to reuse rather than recycle after using an EV battery connected to a FOX ESS H3 pro inverter for home energy storage. I delve into 4 reasons why I decided to use an EV battery for home energy storage.

I touch on whether I would recommend doing something like this and talk of the real home for these batteries in containers supporting our evolving electrical grids. Companies are doing this but it is still early days.

I focused on the UK but the same applies all around the world.
