What about the potential of a true electric for going completely off the grid? Get an electric car and two batteries,charge one on a solar array during the day and swap or transfer the charge in the evening.

February 24, 2011 at 8:09 AM #670540cvmomParticipantBubblesitter, I want in on this too! When will all the subsidies expire? I might be able to use that fact to get my DH off the dime. Replacing his 12-year-old polluting Mazda would be a good thing.

February 24, 2011 at 8:32 AM #670550CDMA ENGParticipant[quote=FormerSanDiegan][quote=CDMA ENG]The economics are not there… Nor is the practicality. The electric car is the direct desendant of the PV EV. I know there will be critics that say there were electric cars long before PV EV but the real evolution of the electric car was knowledge garnered from GM’s Sunrayce and World’s Solar Challenge. These were the testbeds for the more pratical electrical car.

What do you mean by the economics aren’t there ?
The Nissan LEaf is capable of 80-100 miles on a single charge, which costs less than $5. The purchase price of the car is in the $20-30K range.
http://www.nissanusa.com/leaf-electric-car/index#/leaf-electric-car/indexA Solar suystem may be leased for $0 down and approximately the same monthly cost as a typical electric bill (assuming at least $150 per month in usage, which would likely apply for anyone who had an electric car, A/C).
