35% of electricity generated in AZ is from Palo Verde Nuclear Plant. But nuclear power isn't all that cheap, once you account for all the associated costs. It's a little cheaper than coal and gas, but significantly more expensive than hydro.
More and more apartment residents can charge at
Those folks just need to hang tight for a while longer. It's coming, we just can't install these things fast enough. Here in Phoenix the utility companies offer incentives to employers and multi family residences to install EV stations so it's not really an excuse here any longer.
True, but I'm guessing that's only like few% of all apartments and workplaces. So far anyway.
Over 40¢ per kWh where I live. The lowest in our state is a bit under 30¢ per kWh. So yes, yes they are.
Agree with your general direction on where it's going. Not so sure about the degree of it in place yet though. Probably varies greatly by city & state.
I agree. Stopping every 100 miles?? Not likely if you have 270 miles of range. Even In my soon to be ex ICE car my max limit in a 2017 fustian AWD Sport is 350.Sure I may not go the entire 270 but even if I came close and had to stop for 30 minutes I would likely do that anyway. Grab a snack, wait in line, restrooms and take a breather ortalk with my family that has been quiet so far along the drive.
Plug some lengthy routes into ABRP for the AWD ER and I bet you'll find legs around 100 miles (after the first one where you leave from home at 100%).
Seems like the infrastructure starts at the coasts and are working their way in towards the Mississippi River. Slow process though....
yes, that's what I implied but didn't say
Ok, but right around July, I'd gladly swap my electricity prices for your climate. Actually, I'd do that any month.
Hard to tell, since many people seem to think that generating electricity from nuclear is free. And it sorta is, but then there all those other costs, that most people don't think about.yes, that's what I implied but didn't say
Community services can help solve this. In a Baltimore community near Federal Hill, they have installed a free 50kW DCFC at the local library to help solve this problem. The neighborhoods have almost all on-street parking.
Full-time DCFC charging isn't really recommended for the battery though. Not that some won't do it. "Free" is very powerful (even though it just means other people are paying for it). Still though, it's not really a great solution. I wouldn't buy a BEV without dependable, cheap L2 charging.Community services can help solve this.
