The author of this article knows nothing about the energy system. This is a great idea.
The main issue with power is we need to build everything for peak usage at 7pm. Every other time of day there is vast wastage.
Imagine if your EV can buy $10 of cheap electricity over night, and sell it for $20 once you get home each evening.
It makes having a battery pack in your garage very profitable.
And when you suck the juice out of that electric car, you gonna pay them for it?
“I now live in a mobile home, and you can’t spend even an hour in it if the air isn’t on.”
Well, you can, but you’ll start having visions, and maybe see your ancestors. An Indian told me about it...
I don't even like the "Auto Idle Stop" on my car. If my car is stopped it can turn off the engine and then start it again when I lift my foot from the brake. I can turn that system off, but it always comes back on when I turn off the car. I don't want the extra wear and tear on my battery, starter and engine to save a few drops of gas, so I try to remember to hit the button every time I start the engine. There is at least one aftermarket solution which electrically duplicates the button press after you start the car.
To get DC batteries into an AC grid the alternating current has to be synchronized.
The batteries already have a shorter life than the rest of the car. If the batteries were cheaply available, the state or power companies could buy their own batteries. Since they feel the need to draft your car to fight the war on carbon, it seems pretty clear that this is not cost effective.
There will be no where cool to go.
Well politicians homes and offices but you won’t be allowed in.
Show me a liberal, any liberal, and I’ll show you the dumbest MF on the planet.
Until the extra cycles of the battery render it useless.
Maybe they can mount windmills on top of trains too
Nope, sorry, nothing there.
The "experts" said don't charge the car soooo...
Beep beep, waving goodbye!
.
Residential grids are destined for collapse even without the proposal.
People will recharge their EV at work using cheap day solar electricity and run their home at night off their EV and during the day their home will use solar panels. People will go off-grid at home.
People of California, Keep voting liberal, it is working great !
Sucking the solar-powered houses next I am ssure
That’s it, l want to wake up now. I have had enough of this nightmare.
Government will make our lives as costly, complicated and miserable as possible. They want total 100% control over you and every thing you own...Or rent...Directed and produced by those who now see us us as heavy luggage, fat consumers, resource rapist and polluters...
Well this is certainly giving the Your Range May Vary exclamation marks!
Even better is a stick shift...pop it out of gear and coast to the stop sign in idle......My 1978 F100 ticks over at about 300 rpm.
So, when you hop in your EV and it won’t run, does a PG&E IOU pop up on the screen? “Sorry, Charlie, we needed your battery juice more than you. You can bicycle or ride the bus to work today.”
Dragon farms?
