And does it blow the breaker on your home circuits when the air conditioner is also running?
I imagine that you'd have to put in a separate circuit just for it. Depends on the recharge rate; X Whrs/(Y hrs * Z volts) = Amperage needed. I'd like to know because electric rates in Northern Illinois are high and I want to see what fuel cost/mile would be for this.
I personally think that we need some kind of national, federally funded project on alternative fuels. I realize that conservative thinking is normally dead set against such a thing, that this kind of thing belongs with the private sector. But even conservative thinking allows that defending the nation is a government function, and at this point I believe that getting as much of our economy off the oil standard as possible is a national security issue and should be pushed as hard as possible by the government. Get a research institute going, with all research results usable by any American corporation.
