Once you can break 300EMPG (tesla are 80empg and Aptera I'd 350 empg) you finally are in the realm of being able to charge your car strictly on roof solar. Why not cover a Tesla in solar power? Because you'd be lucky to get 5 miles a day on over $1,000 of solar equipment. But cars like Aptera can get 40 miles a day from the sun, not because their solar is amazing (it's only like 700 watts) but because they use the energy the sun created so efficiently.

how many square feet of solar panes do you have? I have a hard time believing that Tesla can power their charging stations with the few solar canopies they have setup in certain areas.

@@skmetal7 not sure of the square footage, because my solar array is based off watts, I have a mixed sets of solar panels. This means that solar panels depending on the manufacturer, they come in an arrangement of measurements. Which as it stands I have only have 1205 watts an hour at peak performance. Yet daily use is a measurement that is different to achieve, without creating resistance. Due to gage of wire that such measurement device requires, I have not measured this parameter. I also have wired thr cabin with over gauged wire, to reduce resistance. Always adding to the 12 volt system. The thought is to develop a 12 volt system that handles all my basic needs. Then build the 24 volt system after the 12 volt system can support what I need to keep everything going, even if it's bad weather for a few days. I am just about ready to add another 720 watts. Which due to a 12 volt system. That panels were a lot larger for what they receive for watts. The energy hub has a roof line 12x6, and 12x8, so 168sq ft. The main point is that, yes people should learn their energy consumption, before thinking that they are saving the planet, with buying an EV. Solar understands watts more then anything, and a 1000 watts is a kilowatt. When thinking solar a single kilowatt is a lot of energy. So when buying even a blender the about ot watts that it takes to operate this item is a deep consideration. Many companies now use a plow against this understanding by not illustrating the watts. This why understanding Ohms law comes into play. If one knows this simple math, then it's not difficult to determine whether to buy it or not. Solar is not as simple as it seems, yet it is. When one gets it, this will.make sense.

@@Kingofthehill84lmao you have no idea what you are talking about.

Electric cars are for people who have bad math

15 years? more like 5 years!

A battery that you can charge to only 60 percent of what you could when it was new is considered "worn out". This usually happens long before 15 years. A more realistic estimate is 7 years if you run deep cycles (discharging most of the battery energy before recharging) or up to 12 years running shallow cycles (low mileage per day and keeping battery topped up). A truck battery is much more likely to be run using deep cycles....especially when hauling a load or when towing. A Tesla 3 or cheaper EV for daily commutes makes economic sense....anything larger does not. An EV semi-truck is especially hard to make economically feasible when the weight of the batteries in order to get the range you need approaches the weight of the load you are trying to haul. When bringing in the cost of a battery change you get to a point of diminishing returns. Democrat politicians only look at the best case scenario and think that everyone drives that way so everyone should be forced to change to EV by letting gas prices go up. They do not even consider that most people do not drive shallow cycle. They only consider the city dwellers that vote their way and are already big proponents of EVs. Hopefully the next election will remove these short term thinkers out of power.

@@Jd-pp7fx I think road taxes will shift to registration fees instead of pump fees. It just has to.

At my apartment in Jersey City NJ 224kWh would cost me $37.18 At my parents house (they have solar) it will cost them around $3 Unfortunately at my apartment my EVSE is only 20A and it’ll take 45 hours to charge to full. My electric panel is only 60A for my entire apartment and so to play it safe I installed a 20A EVSE. In 5 years no breakers ever blew yet.

I didn't even bother to watch the click baiting video and just did a google search of, "how much to fully charge Hummer EV" that took two seconds to do. It seems at some fast charging stations like, Electrify America, it does cost about 100 bucks, but at some other charging stations that charge by the minute, it would only cost $50 or $37 depending on a person's plan. If you charge at home, it only costs $16 -$30 to fully charge. So this is why people need to actually fact check BS videos like this.

Thanks for sharing that fact, I didn't know that!

So, if a charge takes 2.5 hours, then that would be $50.00. Wow, not so cheap is that.
