      Why not cover a Tesla in solar power? Because you'd be lucky to get 5 miles a day on over $1,000 of solar equipment.
      But cars like Aptera can get 40 miles a day from the sun, not because their solar is amazing (it's only like 700 watts) but because they use the energy the sun created so efficiently.

As long as you bribe politicians to force people to buy it. Also don't forget the tax breaks and incentives stolen from welfare to subsidize the manufacturer. What an incredible savings. Meanwhile still burning fossil to generate electricity to be pumped through inefficient transmission lines. 20 tons of Co2 per vehicle built equalling 4 years of driving a gas vehicle only to have it scraped in 5 years because it ain't built to last.

    On average I use the generator on dark cloudy days, and use 10 gallons of gas. (Still adding to solar system)

      @@skmetal7 not sure of the square footage, because my solar array is based off watts, I have a mixed sets of solar panels. This means that solar panels depending on the manufacturer, they come in an arrangement of measurements.
      Which as it stands I have only have 1205 watts an hour at peak performance.
      Yet daily use is a measurement that is different to achieve, without creating resistance. Due to gage of wire that such measurement device requires, I have not measured this parameter.
      I also have wired thr cabin with over gauged wire, to reduce resistance.
      Always adding to the 12 volt system.
      The thought is to develop a 12 volt system that handles all my basic needs. Then build the 24 volt system after the 12 volt system can support what I need to keep everything going, even if it's bad weather for a few days.
      I am just about ready to add another 720 watts. Which due to a 12 volt system. That panels were a lot larger for what they receive for watts.
      The energy hub has a roof line 12x6, and 12x8, so 168sq ft.
      The main point is that, yes people should learn their energy consumption, before thinking that they are saving the planet, with buying an EV.
      Solar understands watts more then anything, and a 1000 watts is a kilowatt.
      When thinking solar a single kilowatt is a lot of energy. So when buying even a blender the about ot watts that it takes to operate this item is a deep consideration.
      Many companies now use a plow against this understanding by not illustrating the watts. This why understanding Ohms law comes into play. If one knows this simple math, then it's not difficult to determine whether to buy it or not.

    We need to remember that these charging costs include zero for state/federal highway taxes. As more EVs hit the roads, states and the fed are going to need to find a way to tax them to keep our streets and roads in good shape. Since they typically weigh more than equivalent gas vehicles, the rates may be even higher than gas tax rates. In my state (MI) we pay 28.6 cents/gallon for state tax, and 18.4 cents/gallon federal tax for a total of 47 cents/gallon. Average state gas price is $2.81, so that comes to almost 17% in gasoline tax. Expect charging rates to increase by at least this much in the near future.

      A battery that you can charge to only 60 percent of what you could when it was new is considered "worn out". This usually happens long before 15 years. A more realistic estimate is 7 years if you run deep cycles (discharging most of the battery energy before recharging) or up to 12 years running shallow cycles (low mileage per day and keeping battery topped up). A truck battery is much more likely to be run using deep cycles....especially when hauling a load or when towing. A Tesla 3 or cheaper EV for daily commutes makes economic sense....anything larger does not. An EV semi-truck is especially hard to make economically feasible when the weight of the batteries in order to get the range you need approaches the weight of the load you are trying to haul. When bringing in the cost of a battery change you get to a point of diminishing returns. Democrat politicians only look at the best case scenario and think that everyone drives that way so everyone should be forced to change to EV by letting gas prices go up. They do not even consider that most people do not drive shallow cycle. They only consider the city dwellers that vote their way and are already big proponents of EVs. Hopefully the next election will remove these short term thinkers out of power.

      On a serious note, what unregulated technology has gotten more expensive over time while providing less utility to the consumer? 10 years from now the solar panels installed today will be providing free power. The minimal costs to maintain them will be well within the budget of today's power rates. There is a also reasonable chance a standard priced home will have a solar tile roof by default.

    In Georgia, an overnight residential EV charging of 224kwh would cost $3.14. Amazing how greatly the cost to charge varies across the country and by method. With ICE vehicles the most expensive gas in California probably is at most two times the least expensive gas elsewhere in the country. Hopefully that gap between 2X for ICE and 30+ for EVs can be tightened. Maybe as more charging stations are installed and more charging companies enter the market, along with some regulatory changes, the cost difference will lessen.

      Two points.
      1. The strength of EVs lies not in overall range at this point, but in MPGe (efficiency) and so currently serve best the normal usage pattern for most passenger vehicles (commuting and short trips). People adopting them know this age but accordingly, except those who buy this pig of an electric Hummer.
      2. EV drive technology efficiency will not stand still, or move at the snail's pace that ICE vehicle drive efficiency has moved at these past 100 years. Advances will be relatively rapid, so that in ten years (a short time compared to the last hundred years of ICE vehicle dominance) many new and expanded use cases will be covered.
