The power won't go off because of spikes in the grid due to the states on the interconnector going down, and we should never need to buy power from a non green source ..... hopefully ...... but I'm guessing we will still have power outages ..... I doubt rooftop solar in the area will get to store anything in the battery, so the same limits will clamp down on rooftop solar during the summer mths ..... maybe they won't need to steal so much from house batteries in peak load periods .... maybe

He could take out the washing machine and use that space. Now there's an idea.

He could buy a big trailer and cart that around behind the Winny.
With that much battery, could flick the V10 Triton and put an elec motor on the driveshaft and head off. It probably wouldn't need recharging for a very long time. Win win I reckon.
