Tesla Model S completes 400,000km of travel and the battery is still functioning at 93% efficiency. Testament to the long life of these batteries, and 1,000,000km appears achievable before the battery pack may need to be replaced! That is about 50 years of driving time for the average driver!

The Power need to run an average Australian home is about 20kwh per day, with around 15kwh being used at night. So for homes to reduce their electricity bills to approaching $0, they would need at least a 5kw solar panel system and a 15 kilowatt battery storage system. The Tesla Powerwall 2 has 14kwh of energy storage, effectively 13kwh usable storage, an can be installed for $10,500.

For about $16,000 people can now install a solar battery system that will supply most of their power needs for at least 23 years. Payback of the cost of the system may take about 6 years, but over the following 17 years it may save the owner around $60,000, when allowing for the price rises in the cost of electricity. The predicted price drop in these systems in the next 2 years, to around $10,000 would make them very attractable to buy!

There are a number of companies offering battery home storage systems. The prices of these devices are predicted to drop by 35% within 2 years.
