    [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.

    A 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).

    I misunderstood his original proposal and I retract my previous statement.

    The Nissan Leaf is a great concept but it’s so ugly. It looks like a cross between a French Renault and an AMC Pacer.

    A little ugly superficially …
    but everything else about it seems quite attractive.

    As mentioned on another thread, I’m still investigating the economics and practicality of PV EV. PhotoVoltaic Electric Vehicle. Perhaps eventually combining a grid tie solar system to partially or completely charge an electric car. Solar net metering tariffs allow you to get credit for power you generate, offsetting additional usage for nighttime car charging.

    Someone who has already done it.. All of their power is solar (house and car) and they net positive to the grid.
