I live a bout 25 miles from the track. There are DCFC in Lancaster and Palmdale, Mojave and Tehachapi. All are a minimum of 25 miles from the tack. Streets would definitely better for EVs. Most clubs get their events covered as driver education events which are allowed by most insurance...

That is the problem. I have no use for another tax credit. I have enough tax credits from my current business that I rarely pay any taxes. So there is nothing to apply the credit to. So I need another legal way to take advantage of the tax credit.

No I wasn't aware of that. I guess I will try and find a different leasing company to work with other than Ford.

I not sure we are understanding each other. Let me put it this way. I do not get a monthly bill from the utility company ever. I get one bill from the utility company in August for the entire year. That bill either says I used more than I produced and I have to pay, or it says I produced...

Its not quiet that simple. I installed a heat pump and went from using propane or wood for heating to using electricity for heat. My annual electric cost was about $400 year prior to the solar install but I also saved about $1000 in propane and $500 in wood that I was using for heat. In...

I have net metering. My meter runs forward and backward. Forward if I am using electrictiy. Backward if I am producing electricity. So the utility company bills or pays out based the net production for the year. My net production , the difference between what I produce and what I use is...

Level 2 charging is essentially a trickle charger for these size batteries I usually charge to 80% just because I don't need more than that. If I am going on a long trip I will charge to 100 percent just before I leave. I haven't noticed any inefficiencies for the extra 20% on those days...

I watched the video and I am not sure I agree with him regarding off grid versus grid tied. I put in 6 kw of grid tied solar several years ago and have not purchased electricity in over 8 years. I charge two EV's and run my main house and the guest house off of the system. The guest house is...
