It's like it's being kept secret.
I work at a consulting engineering company which has a "renewable energy" component. We get magazines from solar, wind, and photovoltaic advocacy organizations. One had a glowing article on electric cars. In it, they were so proud of the fact that the amount of electricity needed to recharge the car overnight was equivalent to “only” the total amount of electricity used during the daytime. I’m not the smartest bulb in the box, but that sounds to me like double the electricity use per day – or double your electricity bill per month.
Absolutely.
A 2500 sq ft household with a/c & exterior lighting, etc, can run up a $400 a month bill under normal circumstances. How about an $800 bill???
Also— if you are self employed & use your car for your business, how do you capture your travel expenses? Gas receipts worked very well for dozens of years. Now what do you record???
How long before every business & apartment building is REQUIRED to have free plug ins?
That would cost a small mint for an apartment complex, not to mention a business.
This is going to backfire, IMO.
