Didn't California mandate solar roofs on all new residential construction?
Seems to me that would help get closer to the necessary infrastructure for EVs. The infrastructure for EVs won't look like the infrastructure for petroleum. 99% of round-trips will be within the capacity of most EVs, which means 99%+ of charging will take place at home (or near home, for condos/apartments). My DD for the past four years has been an EV (which I bought used). You very quickly adapt to never stopping for fuel, practically zero maintenance, etc. I've occasionally used my EV for road trips that exceed my range. Tesla's SuperCharger system is a huge step ahead of most other EVs but they will catch up. I love to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) my 914. I love to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) my EV. (minus the shifting in the emoji) The future ain't so bad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

In fact, it might get bluer. Meantime, there's some work to do. Batteries, road upkeep (especially with heavier vehicles…), grid, waste, "recycling," etc etc all need to be figured out. There are some serious problems hidden in all of them. Just as there were/are with ICE. But if a high % of people can charge their daily vehicle from solar on their home? That would be a major win. If people have to buy solar and EVs out of pocket, then it'll take forever. But if they've already got a lease payment, and there are smart solar incentives, this stuff is a no-brainer at little or no added cost to the average person. Maybe a decrease, in some cases. |
