> unless you have stockpiled gas
replyAnd are regularly rotating that stockpile, because gasoline has a shelf life measured in months
You're not wrong but this is commonly exaggerated: half a year with a stabilizer is entirely doable under reasonable conditions.
replyIf the power is down to the charging station the chargers don't work, this is just as likely as the power being down at the gas station
replyLet me know when you figure out how to refill your gas car from solar panels.
replyI know you're being snarky, but the chemical process for that exists! It's called the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. You take air, CO2 specifically, and then run the process, which needs electricity, possibly from solar panels, and get diesel/gasoline/jet fuel out the other end! Isn't science amazing?
replyThere are practical issues with it, but it's possible. The question is EROI or Energy Return on Investment. Do you get more energy from it than it took to make it, which unfortunately is not there yet. Shrinking it down to fit into your backyard is an exercise left for the reader.
If you've got solar panels sufficent to charge a cybertruck then you don't need the cybertruck to power your home. Regular battery systems will work
replyCharging an EV from regular household solar panels would take days....
replyAnd that's assuming they are sunny days.
What? My BIL’s installation is small, roughly 8kWp, on sunny days he easily gets 40-50kWh, if not more.
replyThe Cybertruck has a 123kW battery, so charging it would take days, assuming they are sunny days.
replybecause solar panels only exist on houses?
replyBecause EVs are only powered by solar?
replyWho said they were?
replyLet me know when you invent solar panels that aren’t vulnerable to damaging winds.
replyWhere I live solar panels have been smashed by hail ice balls, 3 inches diameter.
