The std 110V recharger now used, is a 16 Amp device.

So a dedicated 20 Amp breaker for every car being recharged.

As they are being recharged, say in the evening, it will now become the peak power period with demand charges, so count on say .24cents/kWHr.

So for a std 100Amp panel, 1/5th of available power will go to the car recharger for half the time.

Thanks for ‘info’

I was being facetious as I was referring to how pre nuke Submarines, the batteries had to be charged by the built in diesel while surfaced, usually at night..

Remember this electric vehicle is not a new idea, it was tried back in the early 1900s era.

Maybe they can build overhead power lines like they did for trains and street cars..... with a long pole from the roof of the car...
