Every post you make like this reinforces OPs point. It hysterical

Oh so now you are a beta tester and have all this advanced prototype shite that no one else has which includes 40 effing kilowatts of alternate power at ur effing residence? I hope everyone in this thread sees just how full of shite you are. Let me guess, you bypass the charging port, which would throw up error code after error code, and you hook up right into 440 volts to "intercept"? Full of shite.

Thank you for teaching us

I'm not a beta tester, I do technical diligence for energy finance deals. I hire the DNVs, B&Vs etc. to do technology review for banks to invest in energy projects. In the process of that at times we need to test something and several years ago when I was working for one of the larger solar asset managers I put a big ground mount at my wife's ranch. It's since been used to test the IQ8 and enphase storage integration, PowerWall2 (doing long term high load degradation testing), and now this new inverter for SE because one of the asset managers who works with a bank wants to put it in a tax equity portfolio (ignoring the fact that with the new legislation this might be a moot point) And btw this isn't' even that new. SE made an inverter with a "solar boost" years ago. This is the next iteration of that one which even that infantile attempt performed better than what you've indicated. That's also ignoring Siemens and the other companies that make DC chargers but I'm trying not to break your brain too much.

Here’s your problem. I don’t work for a solar company nor do I have a wife’s ranch to put such a thing up.
You literally are not the average American that you are pushing this nonsense on.

This is where you should put the shovel down and stop digging. Look around, poster after poster is questioning your full of shitness. I knew if I kept you yapping that you would eventually start claiming you have access to all this Google prototype shite that 99.9999% of us don't have access to. Like Sun God said, you are just proving the OP's point but you can't let go of the proverbial shovel.

The cost to redo our electrical infrastructure to support widespread EV deployment is going to be a MASSIVE cost.
Think about the cost of installing chargers at every parking spot at your standard apartment complex. Besides the physical cost of the equipment and installation to support 100 chargers, what about the need to upgrade the electrical distribution system in the apartment complex? One hundred chargers pulling 30amps of 240v power will take a lot of juice.
You can't just plug an EV into the 120-wall outlet and get charged overnight
So, yes we will need more generation capacity, but we'll also need more distribution capacity as well.

Get an Ev, don't get an EV. I really don't give a frick. I personally don't' like them which is why I'm keeping my GX and E-98 drinking GT-R. But I can have an honest conversation about them and have plenty of experience with the tech from work.

But you can't, not in any reliable, cost effective and efficient way for 99.9999999% of us. Oh and pics of wife on ranch? For research and beta testing purposes of course.

I guess the money you save by not paying for gas you should set aside and save up for battery replacement? I wonder what’s the life span on these batteries?

Just wait until a major hurricane forces evacuations to and from major population centers. The ensuing traffic jam is going to be a real eye opener for EV drivers. There will be dead EVs everywhere.

They won't but the people that believe all of those things need to be forced onto people don't know those kinds of people.

You're forgetting about Whole Foods and the whopping 2 parking spots they have for EV's
Can you imagine, 100 cars deep at 45-60 minutes per full charge lol.

I am not really interested in an EV, but I see it as something that would work in certain areas, especially large cities (where people dont drive long distances and there are problems with smog).
But the lack of infrastructure will keep it from happening. We simply cant generate enough power for them and even if we could our current transmission lines and substations cant handle it. Those needs must be addressed first.
Many of the electrical grids in use today were built in the 60's and 70's. Homes and businesses used far less power then. And in many areas where there were 20 houses there are now 150 apartments. This added population density has the current hardware stressed.
If the government really wanted to put money into infrastructure they should allow more nuclear power plants, and incentivize power companies to upgrade their lines. Not in windmills and solar. Neither of those will ever meet the demand.
It will also take time for homeowners to have the added plugs installed in their garages too.
It cannot happen overnight. That is the problem with things currently.

You’re going to pay for the government to pay for it.
