EV Sales Are Just Getting Started?

[RAMBLE1]

Get ready, EV sales are about to jump!

All it needs is a hellcat motor!

Hyundia have a 10 year warranty

A Hyundai can be stolen in under 30 seconds...

Freeze and frost warning along with wind chill advisory until tomorrow. Laying down water as we speak.

I believe tonight will be the coldest of the year! As we speak, 36 degrees. The weatherman issued a freeze warning for plants and electric cars. I have a few plants that were covered, luckily, no electric cars to worry about!

So can a hellcat so what is the point of stating that?

Personally, a tax break is not going to make me want one. In the other hand, I am happy to hear Cole’s feelings about his EV’s. I believe he is trying to give us some facts and figures that we all wonder about and wouldn’t knock him for that. It’s not going to sway me but it seems to work for him. He is definitely convinced. More power to him.

So far we have established that NJ is a bad place to live (some dark forces there), that I am in a hole (although why I am in the hole remains a mystery), some therapy has been performed regarding a young guy that is looking in the mirror and looks angry (well that is what I see, lol, although the poster cannot comment on it, even though they posted it), and a member is in grade school and has blocedk me (I almost fell of the chair reading that one).

All this over an EV thread which includes the term "subsidy". If this is reflective of society as a whole, we are in big trouble. This is worse than when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

Some facts would be nice. Since I have him on ignore, please let me know when he starts posting some.
Meanwhile, the province of Alberta just issued this:

Gators are a high protein sustainable food source. (tastes like chicken?)

You have a choice. Stay home and use your toaster oven or starve and go to work...

A home generator would be helpful or some EV's which can be used to charge the house, yes, EV can actually charge you house, unbelievable right?

What exactly is an ev going to charge in my house?

 

[cole3986]

What exactly is an ev going to charge in my house?

Its called bi-directional charging and is becoming standard on EV's. The Ioniq5 & 6 can charge a 120 Volt circuit up to 20 amps. The EV coming out will be able to do 240 volts (that is speculation on my part). All new Lucids have Bi-directional charging and can also charge other EVs.

Is the therapy session still on regarding the photo you posted? Having too much fun on this thread.

I wouldn't be that lucky if I had one.

As DavidKFla pointed out, there's normally no part of a house that can be charged. Instead (and even I knew that), some can be used to provide a bit of power to a house.

Seems like the new buzzword is "charging", which may make some EV owners, or potential ones, feel better about it.
And they surely won't mind not going to work when their car is keeping the lights on. Although, if they also have a normal car they still could.

Maybe instead of misusing the word "charging", we could say that the EV is momentarily subsidizing the power grid?

 

[cole3986]

The other technology that is a slam dunk in China, is there are EVs that cost way under 20K and the battery is rented. No charging is performed, the battery is swapped out in under 5 minutes (as reported) at stations. Millions of battery swap outs have already been performed. Tesla investigated this concept in 2011/2012 and gave up on it. However, swapping out the battery pack similar to what is performed with Blue Rhino propane tanks solves the issue of affordability and battery maintenance.

We live in exciting times.

Back feed the panel box and use a mechanical disconnect that satisfies the NEC (National Electric Code). With 120 volts only one side can be energized. IMO, better approach is purchasing a solar generator (a fancy way of saying lithium ion phosphate battery that has a built in transformer so it can be charged with solar panels) that can support 240 volts and charge the solar generator with the EV (unless the EV can discharge at 240 volts). The batteries are a temporary fix unless they have alot of capacity (like the Power Wall).

I don't have solar panels or a Power Wall, never could get the numbers to work, a 25 KW Diesel generator works for me.

I think I’ll buy a Ford Lightening just to power my fridge in case we lose power…

...a 25 KW Diesel generator works for me.

I'm doing okay with a 15KW. Could've got an 18 for only a few hundred more, but after looking at the fuel consumption difference at half load, the smaller one seemed like a better choice.

I may have up to 1,600 gallons in tanks, but could also be down to under 1,000 at times (not counting about 500 in vehicle tanks), so lower fuel consumption could be a good thing.

Of course, I would make sure that both water heaters aren't on before welding, for example. But so far the 15KW has done what it's been asked to do without any issues.

This was over a week ago...it was -46C at my place. A few areas had 30 min rotating blackouts....my place stayed up. I do have a Generlink transfer switch and a 9000watt generator for backup. EVs don't function at these temps PERIOD.

 

[Jimmy N.]

Someone put the body on backwards. I knew about quality control issues on some EVs, but this is a bit much.

That is great, someone who has more diesel than me, love it. You have enough fuel to last probably 6 months, maybe more.
