Relocating is a simpler ask to most ordinary people than is turning their garage into a battery vault.

- Dylan16807 1y agoThat's the most ridiculous claim I've seen in a while. Giving up one foot of space along one garage wall is not a big deal. And if you're worried about physically getting the batteries into place, hiring people would still be cheaper than movers. Also, a basement that removes cooling costs for the home lab would not make a big difference. If the 800W A/C unit runs 8 hours a day for 4 months out of the year, then it's only about 10% of the home lab power use. Since it's not needed at night it's probably even less.
- jajko 1y agoFrom logical/cost perspective maybe, from emotional not so much... is it really that hard to see it?
- esskay 1y agoYeah sorry but thats the most insane take anyone could have. You're again quite litterally saying upping sticks and moving across country, so new job, losing friends and family, etc is the best option, vs losing a big of garage space...
