I doubt you'll be able to buy the recalled bolt batteries. Too much
liability to the sellers if one of them causes a fire.

With the recall of over 100,000 BOLT batteries to be replaced,
There will be a HUGE source. But I assume that they will
all be bulk sold to utilities who (hopefully) will apply them
to grid-leveling in support of renewables!

OOps, forgot. My home solar makes the EV charging free...
(Well, no, with Grid tie it costs me 14 cents per kWh
because that is what each kW is worth that I push back
into the grid so using it to charge an EV is 14cents/kWh lost).
Your utility seems to be giving you a GREAT deal. Though it makes your
charging appear more expensive than with a lesser deal. I buy at
$.10/kwh and sell at $.06/kwh which makes my charging $.06. OTOH, my
utility is willing to buy (pay cash) for as much as I can manage to
produce. Even at only $.06, I think my payback period is in the range
of 6-8 years.
You both get great deals. My electric coop only pays their "avoided costs" for
any surplus electricity (trued up annually), currently that is less than 3 cents per kwh
(2.6 the last time I checked).
OTOH I'm still collecting on the PBI we agreed to when I first connected. That
pays 18.6 cents per kWh produced, regardless of whether I use it or push it to
the grid. However, that will run out in less than 2 years.
A couple years after that my 'grandfathered' status runs out and I'll be
switched to their new 'solar customer' rates, at that point it will cost me
over $800 a year just for the privilege of being connected to the grid. iI
figure it will be cheaper to buy some used EV batteries and disconnect, which
is what I plan to do.
