This is very doable without needing an EV battery. Solar panels and lithium batteries have never been so cheap - tho I’m not in America, maybe tariffs effect this in the US. I have a 500w panel, victron shunt, controller, etc, 200ah lithium battery - the whole build cost maybe £800 a couple of years ago and the cost has dropped a fair bit since. I live in a small space and my needs are few - laptop, lights, phone, heater, etc. This does the job fine for me but it wouldn’t be hard to scale up.
I would take a few of the batteries. For free of course.
Who would you throw them at
What? Are you asking what I would do with them? I would build a battery bank and start collecting solar panels.

Yes we all know that. I just want them for free. Since its all unsaleable junk now.
Hell yeah if I could get a free cybertruck I’d have lots of fun salvaging the motors, batteries, sensors, etc.!
