This chap's selling one - he's in Germany!
Could build quite a few homebrew PowerWalls with that - or indeed a homebrew DIY electric car conversion!

better off buying nissan leafs (for instance) from Norway after a normal winter, ...lots of battery packs.

Disgraceful !!!,
           I am being victimized for being too inquisitive. Somewhere in Germany there is a guy feeling smug, having waited till I was about to boot up and kicked the price up to 18,000 euros.
  And,, "Does not Post To Oireland"    Well I never........ Pass me the Blackberry Bang Stann,  maybe not,reminds me of a story i hear many years ago about two American visitors to Dublin.
 They were walking along O,Connells Street and saw this big neon advertising sign, saying "ANDREWS RESTORES LOST YOUTH "  So they went into the nearest bar and ordered two pints of Andrews.
 After the 4th pint each, one of them said to the other,,This stuff actually works, I have just done something that I have,nt done since i was in nappies.
  I just dream of the lovely big lead acid forkie cells that I could buy with 18,000euros and maybe afford a posh holiday in Lagos with the change.

Biff, have you been on the Guinness?!

It does show you how much of the value/cost of an electric car is tied up in its battery pack though doesn't it - second hand and still £18k.

Hi Dan,
    Nope,!  Guinness and me did not agree but most of my friends drank it, I went for Harp lager or Smithwicks ale with Hennessy. Then when my kids began to go to secondary, money was short for fees and I had to pack it all in. The Guinness used to lie in my gut like treacle. My old man could put it away ok. .
The odd thing was, I was pals with a house full of Welsh girls and used to meet them in Colmans in Rathgar on a Friday evening. They all drank pints of Guinness, Two of them were the nieces of a Bishop in Liverpool . They were a rowdy rugger lot and great gas. 1969  .
