    Would you buy an electric car?


    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ctric-car.html

    The costly reality of owning an electric car: How customers are being slugged $33,000 to repair cars only worth a fraction of the price - and why they can't travel long journeys..


    The average Italian cost ( 0,24 € each Kwh ) of a complet charge of 80 KWh battery of an electric car ( battery) is 19,2 €.. but you can drive no more than 300 Km in perfect conditions ( no too cold.. no too hot.. not heavy traffic and so on ) ... To drive 800 km you need to charge your battery n° 3 times.... that is more than 55 € cost. ( the time to charge the battery is another HUGE problem )

    A Peugeot 3008 2000 diesel can "run" 800 km with 65 € ... but the cost of the car is half the cost of an electric car same category...


    "Bad" characteristics of any electric car

    Electricity cost
    Charge time
    Expensive
    Dangerous ( 600/500 volts and 100/200 ampere battery ... you can kill an elephant )

    Which comes first ? Electric car or charging station ?

    Try to immagine a quick charging station...50 kwh ( per hour ) -I don't think that they will permit to rise the volts over 600 v.. in order to reduce the size of the switch..

    This is 3 kwh switch ( average home in Europe )



    A 50 Kwh switch is "10" times bigger

    Try to imagine a 20 colums charging station.. or 30 colums charging station

    Tot power installed is 1000 Kwh or 1500 Kwh...

    HUGE ELECTRIC PLANTS..

    I did buy an electric car. A Chevy Volt (aka Opel Ampera), which I purchased used for less money than a Toyota Corolla of the same model year and mileage would have cost. I have put over 50,000 miles on that Chevy Volt, the vast majority of which were on electric (it has a gas engine too). The only repair it has needed is an electric water pump, which I replaced myself. I have all the service manuals for it as well as the diagnostic interface and software.

    I installed a 240V subpanel and a Level 2 charger in my garage (I did this work myself) so that I can charge it quicker vs. using the portable charging cord, and I have the capacity to charge an electric car up to 9.6kW just by upgrading the Level 2 charger. Beyond that I would have to run a larger cable from the subpanel to the main panel, but I could easily charge at up a 30kW rate with the size of the electric service available.
