I've been musing re home EV charging. I have no expertise beyond common sense but there will surely be practical considerations involved...
Let's say we have a surburban family with mom, pop & children all driving EVs. How many can be charged at once? I am thinking a multi-EV charging system and the necessary electrical capacity to safely power it would both need to be heavy-duty and therefore quite expensive. ka-ching and then you get to pay the electric bill!
If this home only has a minimum power charging system requiring hours to charge a single vehicle, there would be EVs on that charger constantly - and squabbles about "I'M next!" Btw, the insurance companies will note these systems and surely raise their rates accordingly.
Scenario 2: Same residential home but Mom & Pop are travelling for a week. I can envision Junior or Miss Cutie Pie telling their friends "Sure, come on over! My parents are gone for the week, you can use our charger all you want." More ka-ching on the power bill.
On a concurrent note, I've read speculative posts on how once a residential neighborhood reaches sufficient EV saturation, the electrical distribution serving them will necessarily need to be strengthened to handle all the extra required capacity. Someone must pay up for these modifications.
All that sounds reasonable. “Let the consumer decide.”
Does any house have 480v service?
“Right now, we’re in kind of an early adopter phase.”
Right now we are in the insane propaganda and .gov cram down phase.
Replacement is one thing.
How long before we see a disposal fee.
I pay 20.00 a year for recycling trash.
They should pay me.
Where I have been working the past few months there are chargers in the parking garage. These EVs are lined up on every floor getting charged.
And the farming equipment both small-farm and industrial sized. How many are there? A million? several million? idk
The Left doesn’t envision EVs replacing ICE vehicles.
Their goal is to destroy society and western civilization. On the rubble they think they can build “The New Man.”
You’ll have nothing, eat bugs, and like it . . . or else.
I posted numbers a few days ago on this site. Based on readily available numbers and simple math but the dude said all the data was fake.
That’s a special cold weather lithium, not a normal lithium. Teslas have a pretty sophisticated way of warming up the batteries in cold weather.
In the FL heat, people stranded on the roadsides will die by the thousands.
But hey, the Left will consider it a twofer. Fewer humans on earth and they died saving the planet.
“That’s a special cold weather lithium, not a normal lithium. Teslas have a pretty sophisticated way of warming up the batteries in cold weather.”
GEEZ! Tesla is using LFP batteries
I guess you missed the first sentence ...

When it comes to powering RVs, boats, golf cars and electric vehicles, or providing storage for solar power systems, RELiON’s lithium iron phosphate batteries offer several advantages over lead-acid batteries.
“No place to park, no car, no need for a charger.”
I have long since learned I do not know everything and am willing to learn.
BUT have you even seen apartment complexes in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, etc., etc. Most units have 2 cars. In those cities for any kind of decent lifestyle you need a car.
Texas cities are not New York, Boston, San Francisco, London, Paris and other urban areas.
A few weeks ago the Texas grid came close to failing because of the high temps, it would have with the proposed EV load.
“Most units have 2 cars”
Where do they park them?
NYC - Most people don’t own cars
On a thread a while back dealing with EV fires, someone posted an online insurance company graphic on the number of car fires that overstated the number of ICE car fires by a factor of 10 or more. A car magazine posted a lengthy article dealing with just that subject and that graphic in particular. This article meticulously went through the available data and laughingly concluded if ICE car fires occurred at the rate per that graphic, you could not drive to work without saying "Whoops! There's another car fire!"
Read posts 12 and 13.
What is your point?
