When you take an EV and tow with it, it's like having a normal truck with a 5 gallon tank. Energy density and capacity isn't viable yet.

If I still lived in Sherwood Park and only had a short drive to work each day, I would be interested in a small cheap heavily subsidized EV as a second vehicle. They work for some folks and some situations, but not me anymore living out in the sticks and needing to drive out of state occasionally.
I was interested in the 350 kW charging station he used. That's 3,000 amps on 120 v. So your wall plug charger will be a whole lot slower at 15 amps. We are starting to include 100 kW EV chargers on all army barracks projects. They run about $10,000 each for a two-car charger. That is just the charging station and does not include the wire, conduit, trenching, etc.
 When we were in Yellowstone in September, we saw a lot of Teslas. All were either red or white. I don't know if people drove them all the way to Yellowstone or they fly in and rent them. |
