So disgustingly clinical. I hate his logic.
Eratosthenes must have done some wild stuff in his day, because he’s had to watch the same damn argument play out for millennia, even though he came up with a perfectly good proof - without rockets, astronauts or photographs, so that’s a lot of money and time saved. Having to watch that - that is one rough purgatory.So disgustingly clinical. I hate his logic.
Seems about right for this group
I was initially like wait a second how has he hacked into my security cameras!!
So logically drive your ICE cars , and help warm the planet!
I can't afford home solar, let alone batteries.So logically drive your ICE cars , and help warm the planet!
Home solar power+ battery+ fast charger. Simples!
You spent your money on a huge new garage.I can't afford home solar, let alone batteries.
I checked costs and payback for the solar was 8 years and with battery was 14 years.
Unfortunately life for the solar system was 5-8 years.
Battery 8-10 years with degradation by 40% after 5 years.
Vehicle battery life was pretty similar.
I was talking with an auto car sales manager last Saturday and he advised company policy was no trade in for EV's more than 2 years old.
That was where I was planning on putting the solar panels, with the added return that they would provide insulation for the hot QLD sun and sound deadening from rain storms.You spent your money on a huge new garage.
I have no garage
I'm surprised you were told vehicle battery life is only 40% at 8-10 years.That was where I was planning on putting the solar panels, with the added return that they would provide insulation for the hot QLD sun and sound deadening from rain storms.
Still couldn't make the sums work.
EV battery life is extremely variable and can be anywhere between 40-80% after 8-10 years depending on, brand, use and charging cycles.I'm surprised you were told vehicle battery life is only 40% at 8-10 years.
These sorts of figures are bandied about by anti EV types.
We did our research, and the figures for energy/vehicle costs in retirement (remembering energy and vehicle costs will go up over time) added up in our favour.
Then again , we don't us home aircon in summer and we don't have to drive 3 hours to get away from the masses!
