A neighbor was charging his brand new electric truck today. The cable was running from his garage to the truck. To me, what would seem like a novelty would wear out real fast.
Also if all the neighborhood was charging their vehicles, the neighborhood would experience a brown/blackout.
Probably hasn’t installed his in home charger yet.
“The cable was running from his garage to the truck.”
He prolly hooked into a 220v line. This should charge his EV truck quicker. At any rate charging it at night should work out fine.
My cousin has a Prius and gets very good MPG on highways. 48-50 or so. Due to the Prius 95 Horse power engine. I believe newer Prius are designed to have the electric motor kick in too when you want to pass someone or driving up an incline.
Hybrids are a great idea, especially in the city or if you get a lot of stop and go traffic on your highways. EV’s are radically different due to no gasoline engine. EV’s driving 1000 miles — You need to map out your charging stations and pray. And pack some sandwiches for lunch.
