Base Power, the company behind the leased battery program, went live in TX in May of last year. It was co-founded by Zach Dell, son of Michael Dell. This article is from last May and since it was published the company has come out with larger batteries, reduced or eliminated the installation fee, expanded outside of the Austin area into Dallas, and is piloting a program with our local co-op outside San Antonio.The situation you have with the leased batteries sounds like a great idea. I wish they'd offer something like that here!
Sounds like it is a popular idea. I thought I read somewhere they already had something like 2-3,000 installations but can't find it so maybe not. Could be they or a copycat will make something similar available in your area at some point.
