Where will all this New Electricity needed for these cars come from??
The key is how does one charge the damned thing if you’re staying in a Motel 6 or similar?
What happens when it runs out of juice on the way back to the airport. It’s not like you can jump in and fill it up real quick.
Do you return it ‘full’?
Nice straw man. The average person drives 12500 miles per year.A Tesla model 3 goes 4 miles with one kWh of electricity from the plug gross. 12500/4=3125 kWh per year or 260 kWh per month or 8.5 kWh per day. That’s the equivalent to running an 3 ton AC unit for two hours. Running a clothes dryer for 1.5 hours or running your stove stove top for 2 hours. More to the point 5kw worth of panels on the garage roof will generate 50 kWh in an 10 hour day which at latitude 33 is the shortest day of the year in January. Every other day is longer than that and at this climate zone we get 220 sunny days per year every one of them longer than 10 hours of daylight. When people hyperventilate about EV charging they are incorrectly using full charging from 5% to 90% of the packs every night that means you would have to drive 250+ miles per day every day a totally ridiculous number for all but 0.01% of Americans the NHTSA keeps mileage data every year and the average daily miles is under 40 with 85% of all people falling under 45 miles per day.
