A few years early again. Storage, independence, and utilities pushing back. None of this is new. #UtilitiesSuck #SelfishSolar #SolarEnergy #LithiumBatteries #Energy #Offgrid #SolarStorage

Not magic. Chemistry. Copper, aluminum, and some chemistry in between. That’s most of your battery. #LithiumBatteries #Batteries #energystorage #EV #ElectricVehicles #Energy #ElectricCarLife

Lithium is unstable. That’s the point. The same chemistry that makes it risky is what makes it work. #EV #electricdrive #magneticdrive #Lithium #ElectricVehicles #BatteryTech #ElectricCarLife

We didn’t make it back. Not because it ran out of gas… we just forgot to charge. Slight difference. #EVadoption #electricdrive #magneticdrive #TechForGood #ElectricVehicles #SmartTransportation #ElectricCarLife

Utilities want control. Too much solar breaks their model. So now they want control over it. #UtilitiesSuck #SelfishSolar #SolarEnergy #Utilities #Solar #TechForgood #Grid

“Interesting” is putting it lightly. Enphase slipped data onto your power lines. No new wiring required. #Innovation #Enphase #Powerline #Internet #LAN

Stop overthinking solar. People obsess over perfect alignment. Meanwhile, “pretty good” is doing just fine. #TechForGood #Solar #Energy #Engineering #utilitiessuck #pointofusegeneration #greenenergy

We had to reverse engineer this. @Tesla hides cell data behind UDS on CAN. Collin figured out how to pull it anyway. #BMS #CANBUS #EV #EVadoption #electricdrive #magneticdrive #TechForGood

Break it. That’s step one. If it works the first time, you didn’t push it far enough. @Tesla Prototyping #R&D #electriccarbatteries #electricdrive #magneticdrive #TechForGood

@Tesla isn’t stopping you. Most “they won’t let you” is just not knowing how it works. #Tesla #RightToRepair #Hacking #EV #electricdrive #magneticdrive #TechForGood

This is why we can’t have nice things. Things can only be so open before someone abuses the system. #Boardwatch #OpenSource #ComputerHistory #Networking #WAN #Hacking #NetworkSecurity
