We’re looking at an EV car in our future (to go with our hybrid SUV which will take us on vacations and longer trips.)
We’ll be timing it all when our roof needs replacing – EV car, Solar Panels, new roof, all concurrent. Right now I can’t justify solar since we’re barely into tier 2… it doesn’t pencil out. Plus our cars are reliable and I don’t like the idea of replacing something that is reliable and functional.
But 4-5 years down the line – we’ll be reviewing our options again.[/quote]
You’re welcome. I’ve NEVER been interested in EV’s until I test drove the Model S. I went to the UTC store literally dozens of times and I said to myself that I’m not an early adopter and I’ll wait until next year to buy one.
But then I test drove it. Long story short…I put a deposit down the same day. But it’s easily the best car I’ve ever owned. The car is a game changer.
I can’t justify solar either. We do use quite a bit of electricity in the summer but the rest of the year we don’t use much and I calculated it will be better to do what we have done with the dedicated meter and only charging super off peak.
I am enjoying the Model S so much that I think we will replace our other SUV (Audi Q7 TDI) next year to a Model X (Tesla SUV) when it comes out so that we will be completely with EV’s.
This technology really is amazing and it should only get better as battery technology improves.
