Absolutely, a DIY persons dream. A used EV Leaf costs one half of a Tesla power wall and provides 3 times the battery capacity.
The utility/Patroleum ($12B a day industry) has plenty of millions (a day) to bribe lawmakers and hold back EV's and solar as long as possible.

Not only are states fining EV drivers wtih punitive road taxes higher than their ICEV-driving friends pay, I've heard that some utilities are, or will be in the future, charging so much for the use of their "battery" that you might as well not bother with the PV. I'm not an expert on this, but it appears to me that when you combine that with the future availability of depreciated EV batteries, in many areas of the US, being voluntarily off-grid will soon make economic sense again.
