We’ll soon have more options other than selling power back to the grid as first Tesla, now Mercedes-Benz, offer us advanced battery storage options for our solar panel arrays. These Lithium-Ion battery packs will also give us power when the electrical grid is down, during storms and other emergencies, and are a welcome replacement to anyone who has had to deal with the old-fashioned lead acid batteries.
In case you’ve been wondering about new fuel options for cars, we have a call-in report of a listener who recently test drove the new Toyota Mirai hydrogen car. One of the cool features of this vehicle is that it provides 110/220V electrical output as a powerful emergency backup generator, should you need it. Oh, I and did I mention the only exhaust from the car is water?
We think you’ll also appreciate Taylor Barcroft’s report on Apple’s latest new gadgets, an upgraded iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, watch software and fashion updates, and the iPad Pro, a bigger, more powerful tablet with an optional smart stylus, the Apple Pencil. Enjoy!
