@otters_raft Here’s a link to the original article:
We considered buying an F-150 Lightning in lieu of a Tesla Powerwall or other home battery system. The Ford was, at that time, less expensive and had much greater storage capacity.
Given the utility attacks on NEMS (that’s when the utility pays you for the power your systems generate and send to the grid) rates so that it one gets nearly nothing from the utilities, I would arrange my use so that I consume or store all that I generate rather than sending it to the grid for a paltry payback.
