The only way I’d own an EV in CA is if I had a solar system capable of charging it.I agree, and I live in CA and today they are telling us to not charge our electric cars.
The grid cannot do it, this aint gonna happen. Hybrids probably, all ev, never in my lifetime.
Then you have nothing to concern yourself with as the Mustang was/is not a muscle car. It is a Pony car. My 66’ Fairlane GTA was a muscle car.If it is an EV then it is NOT a muscle car... sorry. Do not care if it is called a Mustang, it will not be a Mustang anymore.
LMAO... I keep saying it too... but everyone wants to trounce it and come off as people don't want change or that EV is the "future".I agree, and I live in CA and today they are telling us to not charge our electric cars.

I have solar. Doesn't do you any good when they shut down the grid. Your wall mounted battery is just enough to keep you lights on and your food cold.The only way I’d own an EV in CA is if I had a solar system capable of charging it.
My understanding that there are systems large enough today to handle charging EV's as well as provide power for your home. If there aren't there is certainly going to be a need for them in the not to distant future.I have solar. Doesn't do you any good when they shut down the grid.

They are but you have to store the energy somewhere. When the grid is off I can't store the solar energy I produce back onto the grid. We have net metering and each year I get a check back for the energy I sell back to PGE.My understanding that there are systems large enough today to handle charging EV's as well as provide power for your home.

I understand. I was looking at something like this. It certainly isn't inexpensive but with rebates and financing it is doable. And we are talking about being totally off the grid. Honestly if I were thinking of an EV as my only type of vehicle (I'm not) and lived in CA or TX this is the only way I would do it.They are but you have to store the energy somewhere.

A single wall mount battery only stores about 18kwh at a cost of 10k a battery. You would need several batteries to truly go off grid. My AC draws at 6kWh so the batteries can't even keep up with that.
What does a tesla capacity at 80 kwh? I'd need 4 batteries just to charge my damn car when the power is out.
Nice kit. Probably good for a mid sized houseI understand. I was looking at something like this. It certainly isn't inexpensive but with rebates and financing it is doable.
