Get Ready To Plug in Or Unplug?

[AnthonyS]

I gotta second that sentiment of EVs being peppy, Mrs. Anthony's 2019 Bolt scoots and it's a little one - I can't imagine how the big / dual motored Teslas move. We primarily use the household level 2 'slow' charger, but I've gotten low on range and stopped at a fast charger a few times.

That said, we just got back from our 2500 mile road trip through seven states up to Yellowstone and back and we passed this on The 15 - to say it's impressive to see is an understatement. It looks like something out of a James Bond movie that the villain would try to corrupt to burn something...

And yes, we took our little ICE Honda SUV - the EVCS infrastructure isn't where we all want it yet - but we're (I'm helping) working on it. I've permitted about 50 so far for Tesla, Volta, and EA myself through work...

But, I also, will never give up my Big Blocks or an ICE vehicle.

And as I understand it, the EV and EVCS industries are currently (no pun intended) limited by battery technology - both the portable kinds in the cars themselves, but also the stationary ones that we used for BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems). Once that gets better and the grid updated of course, then they'll be able to do something with all the power that is being generated by personal PV systems, right now, storage of that power is the limiting factor as I hear it.

Cheers all, be well & safe.
