I recently read a similar article and had a similar reaction. That being that people who are willing to invest in an EV at this point are also more likely to invest in renewables. Count me as a yes. I installed 26 305 watt solar panels last summer and smile every time the sun is out and I plug my car in 🙂 It tickles me to no end knowing that the energy is literally flowing from my rooftop directly into my EV. I have the same reaction with my corded electric lawn mower.

The EV tax credit, which has been around since 2008, offers consumers a subsidy of up to $7,500 off the price of a qualifying EV ... https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.realclear.com%2Fimages%2F46%2F469842.jpg&data=02%7C01%7C%7C9f7f7211ee1744d7a22808d6c71b1966%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636915316530737148&sdata=75ggOVZHx8w5WfWoRnKETaxaJydij5%2F8QjzzVUXDo0Y%3D&reserved=0 A Straw Poll: How many of you EVangelists charge your cars using renewable power? The article above sited a study that electric cars will not help the environment I am assuming because they assume EVs are being charged from power from the power company (which in my area means coal fired power plants). I do agree with the premise that the EV subsidy helps wealthier people more than poor folks, since if you can afford a brand new Tesla, you have some cash. But that study sited is very suspect. Most of the people I know around here that have EVs also have at least some solar. While a few have more solar than they can ever hope to use themselves (Mark Hanson: take a bow). So I am just curious. What say you? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
