[[[[And it is proposing that owners of electric cars charge them through the night when power is cheap and then sell it back to the national grid at a higher price at peak periods.
As a result, the embedded power stored in the cars’ batteries will reduce the need to build new gas-fired power stations.]]]]
Now here is a recipe for disaster.
Now here is a recipe for disaster.
A wet dream of epic proportions.
What would be the’line loss’ on all the up and down conversions?
And riping out gas central heating?
In a cold month in northern Illinois I use 300 therms of gas.(30 million Btu/hr)
1 Watt `3.4 Btu/hr
~12,000 W/hr
For that, I would need an additional 100 Amps of service!!!
That will not be cheap!
Ah ,if everybody started charging their cars at night wouldn’t that cause peak periods at night?
