    We have been doing this for about 10 years, batteries come out of EV's when they drop to about 80% capacity . We install them in back up supplies for cell phone towers and critical lighting  then  they are good for at least 15 years ,  and what do we do then - we recycle them which is quite easy.  

     Yes you can use them for street lighting and I am currently designing this into a remote roadway in NZ because it's cheaper than running grid sourced power to the location.  never mind the cost in diesel etc.  to trench and duct to the location.

    It's not a money grab or ditching on future generations it's engineered sustainability - last project I saved you  the tax payer $23 grand a year on the lighting power bill and over $3 million is construction costs  - lucky we have "clowns" ??  

    How many batteries are you recycling each year for street lighting.

    I have been looking at videos of how to swap an SMG to a manual gearbox.    I don't think I could make a video as bad as some of the ones I have watched if I was blind drunk and blind folded.   There is a real lack of skill out there.    The SMG box is already out of the car and on the bench .    I am looking for instructions to give to my machine shop.    They have the skills and I have a kit on the way here.    The guy wants to know precisely what I am looking for him to do.  HELP!!!!

    here’s hoping KwS, that common sense will prevail. 
     

    unpopular opinion but the open road limit needs to be dropped to 90. Maybe not all the time but between the hours of say 6am-9pm or so. 
     

    reason for this, legal limit of heavy vehicles and towing vehicles creates a huge rolling road block (this will be exacerbated with no tolerance as passing won’t happen as often). 
     

    Those who don’t have the confidence or competence to do this limit (especially at the sight or a corner or a bridge giving the perception the lane narrows) also create rolling road block. Make it worse as they are usually ones who speed up on passing lanes without realising. Mainly those driving Nissan Tiidas or the likes. 
     

    Having the discrepancy in speed limits makes some drivers feel it is their right to do 100, and make that well known to slower vehicles (tail gating etc). 
     

    The amount of traffic on our open roads has greatly increased, as well as more driveways due to more houses being built/properties sub divided. 
     

    Open road driving during daylight hours in this country is painful. 
     

    I note police are taking advantage of the recently reduce limits across the Waikato (100-80kmh), constantly patrol these areas (SH39 Te Kowhai, Mystery Creek, Ohaupo - Te Awamutu). Too bad they don’t place as much emphasis on motorists not having their lights on in thick fog or tailgaters. 
     

    Surely we should have a guy walking in front of all cars waving a red flag and the car driver honking the horn instead of dropping the open road speed limit to 90kph.
