  1. What's your energy mix/price?

    Crissa, I ment no offense to you, I apologize if you took it that way. I hold the highest regard for your comments on this forum. IMO…when the price per kWh reaches .36 cents, most folks will be trading their EV’s in for ICE vehicles if the fuel prices remain as they are. Your at .28 cents now...
  2. What's your energy mix/price?

    Would you please show me where you are getting your information from. Shutting down perfectly operating power plants that just spent billions of dollars to comply with the EPA standards to install solar systems that cannot possibly produce the power that the plant was shut down is no where near...
  3. What's your energy mix/price?

    I truly hope that these increases come as NO surprise to most of you. As our country continues to move towards renewables and away from fossil fuels, who do we think is going to pay for all the new system installations. Who’s gonna pay to redesign and construct a new grid system because the old...
  4. Elon Musk: Superchargers open to all other EVs later this year.

    Here we go again. Putting this company against that company when we ALL should be supporting the grand idea of lowering our own carbon footprint. If OUR tax dollars are subsidizing any part of the EV market then it damn well better be open to everyone that pays taxes period. I would also hope...
  5. The cost of driving an EV?

    I can compare a car to a truck anytime I want. It is fair to do so…..they both transport people from point A to point B at a specific cost. That was my point entirely. I can guarantee you this the final cost to own a CT will be much greater than the Toyota Corolla Hybrid over yours and my...
  6. Vehicle to Home (Ford Figured it Out)

    Young feller, one thing I’ve learned about you is; you just like to argue with anybody, about any subject. Your about as close to a troll as it comes. Your train of thought on this subject matter is gonna get you killed. I survived 35 years underground certified low, medium and high voltage by...
  7. Vehicle to Home (Ford Figured it Out)

    I stand behind my earlier statement, “ it’s up to Mr. Lineman, to ensure he goes home to his family”, not me, nor you, or anybody else for that matter. By the way I never said I had a dryer? I’d much rather disconnect line side feeders from my service panel AFTER I opened, locked out, tagged...
  8. Vehicle to Home (Ford Figured it Out)

    Ohhh, I so much agree with your thoughts. Everyone that can, should install a solar system to the maximum size the utility company will allow. Yes, it is the responsible thing to do as we utilize more and more EV in the states. I would think utility companies would support increases or...
  9. Vehicle to Home (Ford Figured it Out)

    Uhhhmmmm…. I’m pretty certain Mr. Line had better “Lockout and Tagout” the closest disconnect to his work, apply grounds to all phases prior to performing work. I personally wouldn’t intentionally connect alternate power to my cabin without first opening the disconnect to the Grid, but, it’s up...
  10. The cost of driving an EV?

    Soooo, last year we leased the new 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid, being a nutcase on data, I tracked the actual mileage this vehicle realized over a year (58.5mpg). It’s the wife’s car and she is now boasting her Hybrid will out perform my CT on fuel cost per mile. Fuel in our area was, (big...
  11. Alex on Autos: The truth about EVs and Solar

    I am very interested in a PV system and was quoted panels with micro inverters. The single most important issue to me was; “I was told that I would not have power if the grid was down”. That in itself killed the deal. I want power if/when the grid fails. I want to be responsible for my own power...
  12. Alex on Autos: The truth about EVs and Solar

    Thank you, my power company offers and I currently use the reduced TOU rate. Monthly average is at .18 per kWh? I’ve not researched others to see how my rate compares.
  13. Alex on Autos: The truth about EVs and Solar

    Maybe this is the place for my thoughts; Speaking in terms of Grid reliability and those cost associated with failure as seen most recently in Texas. What if; assume for a second that ICE vehicles give way to the battery powered vehicles in the future. What happens to the Grid when everybody...
