Bill lives a good 60 miles from San Francisco, so he needs to get some juice to make his trip home after work. As a starting point for some workplaces, or as part of a well-considered mix of charging options at others. Some argue it’s so easy and so cheap employers should just do it. Maybe they tout it as smart and cheap.

This is by no means cheap, but is relatively competitive with the higher-end wake boats from companies like Nautique or Malibu (Nautique has its own electric wake boat , which starts at $312k). But for the most part, these machines will be used on lakes or in calm waters anyway, so it should be more than enough for a great day out.

In the past, in exchange for California's financial support for public charge station installation, the business hosting the charge station covered the cost of the electricity, the smallest part of the equation. Free Juice Bar explicitly sells charge stations to offer free power.

A decade later, in the 2010s, the battery EV began an astounding reversal of fortune, thanks in no small part to the engineers at ACP, whose electric-drive technology informed the development of the Roadster, the car that launched Tesla Motors. By the 2020s, automakers around the world were producing millions of EVs a year.

(For this to work in place of a wall-mounted unit, you still need a dedicated 240V 30 amp circuit and outlet, which would cost a few hundred dollars of an electrician’s time and perhaps $50 in parts.) They’ve kept my LEAF juiced, after all. The result will be simple, safe and cheap. This is not rocket science.

But it’s not cheap; it’s not elegant; and Lexus’ tech foibles carry over from the standard RX and other models. Volvo’s system will automatically kick in the gas engine when the accelerator is mashed to the floor, but Lexus doesn’t engage the gas engine in EV only mode unless the juice runs out.

Day 4: Juicing Up Despite all my driving fun, I’m still returning just under Kia’s official consumption figure. The 50kW charger near my home is (still, after three months) out of service, awaiting replacement parts. Rear seats also don’t recline – another luxury this car misses out on. Opportunities galore.

Consumer confidence in electric transportation is growing – aided in no small part by $4 to $5 gallons of gasoline. Given the cost of oil and the economic, geopolitical and ecological effects of our continued reliance on petroleum, electric transportation will be cheap.

Millions will plug-in their electric vehicles (EV), plug-in hybrids (PHEV) and fuel cell vehicles (FCV) at night when electricity is cheap, then plug-in during the day when energy is expensive and sell those extra electrons at a profit. In the future, utilities will pay you to plug-in your vehicle. 2:54 PM Anonymous said. 99,999 ripple free.

For just a little more than half that amount, we could fund a fifty-fold increase in spending on R&D for the kind of game-changing technological breakthroughs—like smart grids, ultra-efficient batteries or even cheap, manageable fusion—we will need to end our addiction to fossil fuels.
