I love to here from you left coast folks. Good for a laugh. Please send me a brochure of this 600 hp Jeep with a 1,000 mi range. I'm ready to buy it today.
Oh, what? They don't exist? How about you show me a charging station within 50 mi of my house.
Oh, what? They don't exist?
Well, at least show me the solar system that can run my house and my electric car in January where it's in the 30's and down to sub 0 at night with 3 sunny days.
Oh, what? They don't exist?
In this state you are not allowed to have a solar system with a battery backup and still be allowed to tie into the grid. ILLEGAL.
Anybody know why there is so little lithium extraction here in the US? Contamination way beyond what the EPA allows (according to 3 different companies wanting to put solar panels on my roof.)
An electric car may work if you live in the desert and work from home, but what about the guy who drives 60 miles to work in Feb? Need the heat on at the house 24/7 and need the heat on for the drive to work. And there is no place to recharge the car. And it's been overcast for the last week solid. And you can't have a battery bank.
I'm pretty sure you folks with your fancy Tesla's (the half dozen or so they actually produce a year) are not going to let the "recycling" plant anywhere near where you live either. The horse is a hell of a lot more practical than a stupid electric car that can't get me to work and back in less than ideal conditions.
So quit telling me stories Mr Ed Begley Jr.
