Lies, click the link, it goes to your post 63 in this thread
Alow me to post is again

Are you saying you are not the same TexasGator who wrote post 63? Reality must really suck for you given how hard you deny it.

Here is a cut and paster also of your post 63:
Which states:
“To: Skwor

/11s I recall a level 2 charger, typically the best you can get for a home, which already requires a serious electrical upgrade, “

You can plug it into an existing dryer outlet ...

“You mean like this after I give you all the rope to hang yourself.”

Take a pill. You are getting way too emotional.

It goes to the page with posts 81 to 100

You just keep lying. Now you deny to wrote post 63 and claim the link does not work. Also you know full well that is a literary phrase describing ones one demise at their own hands, which is what you have done in this thread.

Classic libeler who knows no truth.

A person can correct 40 wise men with 1 fact but a fool(TexasGator) cannot be corrected with 40 facts

[Skwor]

How many times do you have to be told see your post 63, which I even cut and pasted for you.

Enough routing in the mud, I leave you to the filth ans lies you love to wallow in.

“Now you deny to wrote post 63 “

Please cite where I denied I posted #63. You can’t, so stop lying.

“and claim the link does not work. “

I never claimed it didn’t work. I said it didn’t go to any specific post of mine. I said it went to the top of the page containing posts 81 through 100.

Just because we don’t have enough power generation to come close to replacing ICE vehicles for personal use (forget about commercial trucks for the moment), nor enough transmission capacity, nor enough local distribution, nor enough materials mining and processing to begin to build the above, and that it would take several decades build up to do those things, why are you such a Debbie Downer?

Let’s go residential on that.

At 220V (nominal utilization voltage for a residential 240V system), you be at 10,909A (!!!!).

Journalism majors may be the only college major less numerate than education majors. We see it all the time, as here.

Fred Flintstone doesn’t need to charge his car at all.🤷🏼‍♂️

Well, I live in California, where electricity costs over 40cents/kwh!!(Because of all the cheap renewables we have) So they almost force you to go solar. So we did about a year and a half ago and haven’t paid for electricity (except for infrastructure charges) since then. and we currently generate way more than we use, so we just installed a heat pump for heating and cooling, and even with that we still have left over power. That’s why we’re looking at EVs or plug in hybrids.

Right now we’re leaning more toward PHEV since my wife typically drives 30-40 miles a day, thus she could run on electricity most of the times. Every once in a while she takes longer trips and then she could supplement that with gas and avoid range anxiety.

In California do they do net metering? In other words, when you have excess power do you sell it to the grid and get paid almost as much per kWh as you have to pay when you pull from the grid, without having to pay a lot of extra fees for doing so?

We don't have net metering here in Alabama. If I sell power to the grid it's usually about 1/4th per kWh that I earn compared to how much I pay when I buy power. And there are extra fees added for the privilege of selling power to the grid. I'm not complaining, it is what it is. So it's part of the math and planning (buy a hybrid inverter that allows you to turn off the grid sell feature until you've had it a while and do the math on if you'd sell enough power to make enough money to more than offset the fees for selling power). Plus having a hybrid inverter means I still have power when the grid goes down (my inverter doesn't have to automatically shut off power to the home when it detects grid outage). I do sell power to the grid when I have excess. And I do make about $100 net per year ($100 more in "revenue"/credit than the extra fees I pay). But always the most feasible thing is to use up however much solar power is coming in before I sell power (think of it as the last resort).

For example, in the past $365 days I paid about $44 for buying power on days that my battery stack was charged to 100% the day before. In other words, there's no need to expand my battery stack if doing so at best would save me $44/year. However, I bought $551 in power on days that I didn't charge the battery stack 100% the day before. So expanding my solar capacity (and being more sure to charge the batteries the day before), could save me $551/year. Plus there was $95 worth of power bought because I didn't have enough inverter capacity at the time.

So adding to my solar capacity, which would also mean adding to my inverter capacity, would save me potentially $650/year in purchasing power. And would even more so add to how much excess power I sell to the grid in a year (about 3 times more added to selling power kWh than is reduced in purchase power kWh). But the extra selling would net only about $400 per year. (If I purchased as many solar panels as an extra inverter could allow, which is what I'd do if I bought a 3rd inverter anyway.)

That's the kind of math we have to do for those of us decentralized solar users in states that don't do net metering.
