I have been trying to solve
I have been trying to solve our home energy future for the last couple of years. We have a solar powered house and I bought a NEV to use in town. It has proven to be a failure, I have been through a couple of sets of batteries that aren't cheap. You may say that I don't know how to use the car but at the same time if electric cars are going mainstream 90% of the people want to just drive not be a electric car tinkerer. I also have an electric bike which is great transportation but I have to bring the litium battery in at night when it's cold or it doesn't work right. I don't think the technology is there yet and don't know if it will be in the near future, at least I know what I have tried isn't. On the other hand the Prius that we own for out of town driving is awesome. We have talked about getting rid of the electric car and buying a plugin Prius. Just observations from Missouri.
