The first gen Prius had a federal tax rebate as well. Mike
If most charging is at night we do not need new power plants, just more fuel for existing power plants. With smart meters it will be relatively...
Most minivans are ugly. They sell a lot of them. Mike
Why do you want to calculate the payback in terms of years rather than in terms of miles driven? A car is worth more because it gets better...
Except that the US law says that the rebate is a credit against taxes owed...and there isn't a way for a dealer to know or verify if a buyer...
I think you are confusing issues. Solar thermal plants using liquid sodium are fine...when you have many acres and a crew to maintain such a plant...
I doubt that you can use the full or usable battery capacity and the Chargepoint or kill-a-watt result to measure charging efficiency. I did it...
It still makes the most sense to put solar cells mounted in a fixed place where they get the most sun, their weight doesn't matter, and they...

Last summer my EV range was usually in the mid to high 14's. In the winter it dropped to about 13.1 mostly and as low as 12.x. This summer it went...
Since you are paying extra for clean energy, you are looking at the LONG view. Buying a BEV or PHEV will save money by the time the car is...
That is profit, accounting or whatever. It has nothing to do with the actual energy losses, except maybe it is some multiple of it, for example....
I usually rotate my tires about 500 times per mile, other wise I find that I don't get anywhere. :) Mike
Free charging...plus chocolate. Is there a better destination than this? Mike
