The battery rebate program has been hijacked by wankpanzerism. A lot of the rebate money is going to people supersizing home batteries to ridiculous sizes they’ll never need. Like people buying RAM Utes, it’s ’my battery is bigger than yours’ status stuff. I think the program should have offered an even greater rebate, say 40-50% of cost, to a standard 13.5 kWh home battery. To get more batteries to more people, rather than wankpanzer batteries to the status junkies. (P.S. I wouldn’t touch a 42 kWh battery that only cost $5K.)
