This whole ev push is a joke, lol.
95% of households don't have sufficient wiring to charge one overnight. Portable or out in the boonies chargers are powered by diesel generators. Oh, and let's keep punching damns in the nw, lol. Windmills have 20 yeaar expectations, non recyclable. Entire w m farms power a town of 1300-1500. That's what the Vesta techs told me, lol. Maintenance is high $$, crane rental boys, lol. And they look like shit all over out here. There needs to be a balance yes, but I don't get it, lol.

I'm just trying to figure out where we're getting all this electricity for an ev world, lol. No coal, no nuclear. They haven't figured out hydrogen yet. Yall want electric but wanna destroy how it's produced is comical. How many of you work or worked in the field, lol. It was California using diesel generators. Regardless the power doesn't just produce itself. Third of our power is coal. Last edited by rtmike; 03-18-2022 at 05:41 PM.. |

Good for you. I've been looking into panels for my south side. The panels are great when the sun's shining otherwise you're investing in bigger storage batteries. Not ideal for all of the country. We'll see in 20 years, lol. I see you're the op. Not crapping on your post man, congrats. I just don't get their thinking right now. We're not hearing about the nw punching damns anymore so I guess the huggers quit caring about Salmon, lol. The new long distance Tesla can't even be fully charged in a weekend. Musk is developing power packs to help with that so we'll see... Last edited by rtmike; 03-18-2022 at 05:57 PM.. |

I expect I will be using the local electricity coop I currently use for my power needs as the battery. Anything that I don't use during the day that the panels collect gets fed into their system and I have a built in "credit" for usage during the night. Eventually I will move to a battery system but not until that technology gets better. As for tree hugging... that ain't me son. I care about the environment and all but I'm currently more concerned with how this affects my bottom line. No worries on the crapping on the thread or what not... you are welcome to state your opinion. I get your position though I don't know that it is all based on current tech. |

I think it's Australia that a millionaire built a huge solar farm and plans to sell the power to China. Underground cable and all.
Finland is finishing up building a nuclear plant that self disposes the waste that the rest of the world's watching. China is going nuts building nuclear plants. I read 7-8 are currently being built. I just hope if a tornado comes thru all my shits charged, lol. I never edited my original post. "There needs to be a balance." Instead of eliminating fossil fuels. Car companies are phazing out fossil fuel rigs, just a fact. Trust me. I had to buy a bigger AH battery for my little scooter to.keep.from driving my daily driver.

Where are you even getting this stuff? The longest-range Teslas out there charge in about 12 hours on a standard 220v charger. I suppose if you're wanting to just charge it on a 110v outlet it might take the whole weekend, but no one's going to spend $80k on a car and then refuse to pay the extra $750 to have a home charger installed.

The NEW long distance Tesla. It's not available yet, lol. I damn sure can't afford an $80k ev and then I gotta worry about my ancient wiring in my house to support 220v Tesla supercharger. But I if went 120v in my old crib, it's almost 109 hours to charge one of Teslas models. Check Teslas site. We're not all made of money.

It is more like 95% of households have sufficient available wiring to charge one overnight. Most people have outlets in their garage. Do you live in Australia or someplace like that? Why would you need a charger out in the "boonies"? The more houses that continue to put up and use solar panels the easier it is to not just power your house but also charge your vehicle. You are way out of touch and have been getting your information from people that are just against the EV market on any and all levels.
