There's absolutely people out there who can do it. I just see it, currently, as a two fold problem.
One, once it's been "scrapped" for a car, I don't know of any process in which it can be OK'd to put in a house with a mortgage and insurance. That's policy/paperwork stuff that theoretically can sorted if there were a push to do so. But, today, you're, right off the bat, limited to off-grid and DIY types at the moment.
Two, for those people, it's a lot more comfortable to work with a 48V system than 480V. You make a mistake with 48V, it hurts. You make a mistake with 480V and you're dead.

Of course, there's already some storage "farms" using them, which gets you around the home by home reuse problems. They're not keeping up with the rate of scrapping yet, either.
