For example, Japan has a deep used EV market with lots of Nissan Leaf supply. If the Australian government used its purchasing power to bulk buy them and loaned them to essential workers ( nurses and teachers) or households in outer suburb, it can give real relief to many families.
After the car's useful life is over, the #battery is usually still in a good enough condition for energy storage. With some research #funding, they can probably be recycled into community batteries.
Passive balancing isn’t as “simple” as it looks
Many assume passive balancing = safe + reliable.
But in practice:
Heat dissipation becomes a bottleneck
Balance current is often too low for large packs
Timing strategy matters more than hardware
📌 Observation:
In multi-cell packs, imbalance is often driven by temperature gradients, not capacity differences.
👉 Design tip:
Balance control logic > resistor selection.

Kansen voor kleine vliegvelden, misschien ook vliegveld Twente.
