My home is also pretty efficient. In the depths of summer, i run about +/-900kwh's, in winter about +/-280 kwh's... level-pay bill at $57/mo year round. A typical refridgerator runs about 40kwh's per month. I get the gist of the article, but it's not factual.
Yes, EV's are bypass powered by fossil fuels in most areas of the grid, but as it's far cheaper than pumping gas, it's entirely plausible that it requires far less fossil fuel for like mileage. I'd have to bust out the old TX Instrument to do the actual maths. Lol
Driving across europe is like driving across Texas. It's far easier to build that infrastructure on such a small scale. There's no way we could do this continent wide.
I don't have many issues with the EV's. I think they are a great development but the charging system and what supplies it with all the greenie BS about carbon and emissions we have now turns me off them because they are sacrificing one to get to another.
We currently have vehicles using solar that can fly around the world and cars that can drive across the US, but there is not one person on this forum that would do that with zero AC across the desert, and no heat across the mountains.
That's why I say no at this time, it's a niche market for those that want something different but not currently practical for the common folk like your and I.
Lead Acid Battery powered vehicles have been around for a long time. There is a bail bondsman in OKC that has a yellow one he has been driving for a long time.
I've spotted one sitting outside a farm house where I deer hunt. I've been trying to talk him out of it just for something to drive around the lake on Sunday. If I think of it, I'll take a pic when driving by tomorrow on the way to the deer stand.
