Or just have a second stationary battery to store up the energy while you're away during the day.

Two cars, much cheaper than a second battery pack. And you have a supply of rolling spare parts.

This is probably the case right now, but I have faith the market will mature and fix that absurdity.

i was thinking used where you can get a Nissan Leaf which is a 75 kW, 20 kWh rolling battery pack.

That's no longer the case. You can buy Chinese rack batteries for prices approaching $100/kWh.

Are they UL certified? If so do you have a brand you can point me at by any chance?

> UL certified?

Not generally, although some are. The UL certification will put you at the top end of the $100 - $200 / kWh range I mentioned. Eco-worthy and UZ are two brands with such certification.

Will Prowse reviews a bunch of these.
