When I put the PV array on my roof a few years ago and intentionally oversized it for an EV, an OEM EV wasn't remotely on my radar and I figured whatever DIY conversion I did was going to be a bit of a big deal. Didn't give it much thought aside from back-of-the-envelope ballpark guesses for how much extra panel capacity I thought I'd want. Today, a Leaf would actually be a not-unreasonable option for me...and it would actually probably be cheaper than my plans for turning the '64 1/2 Mustang into a PHEV. But I'm probably going to go the PHEV route anyway...because it'll be the best of all worlds. Mostly just an EV, but also a road trip car...and with what should be a Tesla-beating all-wheel-drive hybrid mode...and, oh-by-the-way, also an iconic muscle car with the proverbial roaring V8 when such is called for.... There's reason to hope that, before long, it'll be as hard to find a new car without an electric motor as it is today to find a new car without an automatic transmission. If we can make the transition to EVs significantly faster than we made the automatic transmission transition, we might actually survive the end of petroleum.... b& -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
