I'm not going to get into how this guy is confusing KWh and KW. But I am curious around people's pure hate around EVs. We have a Tesla. We charge it off of the same solar that powers our house. My wive drives it work and back. It's free. We have a Tahoe we use for extended trips.
EV range will only get better. Batteries will only get better. Solar Panels will only get better (the last 10 years has been INSANE gains) You can have all of the free energy you want from the sun (my neighbor has a small wind turbine but wishes he would have spent that money on more panel). This is freedom. I have no electricity bill. The grid goes down, I don't notice.
Weirdly, whenever I nerd out with someone on Solar/EV Setups they end up being lib eco-warrior-wannabes, because for some reason, folks on the right do not seem to understand the pure freedom it provides.
EV culture has been associated with leftists and liberals in the same way that NASCAR and pickup trucks are associated with the right and conservatives. Hate for EVs here is an attempt to own the libs but never has any real technical merit.

I appreciate your posts on this topic. Apparently I need to do more research on this.
