      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.

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.

      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.

      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.

      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. Materials aren't the major cost, it's location and personnel. Los Angeles where I grew up the median cost of a home is 1M and selling your home for 1.2M by upgrading the roof to solar tiles is something Californian's absolutely would do.

    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.

To support high amounts of fast charging the grid needs to project high amount of electricity usage and keep ramped up on electrical production to provide the real time need further increasing power plant emissions.

    Any idea how much the Hummer battery costs? The prices I've seen for replacement batteries for smaller cars with 100kWhr capacities or smaller is $20K to over $60K which would make the Hummer battery in the $50K-$150K range. The Hyundai IoniQ 5 battery, less than 80kWHr, is $56K for the battery and with labor and other costs the total is over $60K -- more than the entire cost of the car brand new. The price per mile might be 1/2 or even 1/4 of gas/diesel, but if the battery is going to cost more than the car then the modest per mile saving are entirely overwhelmed by maintenance costs.
    If you own the car for, say, 4 years, and you then try to sell the car how much is it worth if the new owner has to shell out more than new money for a used cars replacement battery. This is going to make resale value drop of the table as no one wants to buy a used car and then shell out more money than a new car just to replace the battery. If you keep the car longer than, say, 4 years then you might reach a point where you either have to replace the battery at insane prices OR to throw the car away.
