I would like an electric car but our govt is making them very expensive (dont get me started here)
I have 5.5Kw of solar on my roof and an electric car makes sense particularly if I can use the battery in it as storage for the excess solar that the energy company only pays a pittance for.
The cheapest house battery is $10,000+
Here we have around 320 days of sunshine a year so a small genny for top ups if the dark skies last too long.
It would go a long way to get me off the grid.
