Residential: The primary, most convenient and cost efficient fueling option for many drivers is residential charging. The Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy at the Department of Energy reports that EV drivers conduct ‘more than 80% of their charging at home.’ The cost of installation will be incorporated into a monthly fee.

It’s the first time in 80 years that a renewable electricity source has accounted for over half of annual capacity additions to the grid. This marks the first time in 80 years that a renewable electricity source has accounted for over 50% of annual capacity additions. The US added a record-setting 32.4 million installations.

Four joint United States and Japanese research teams have been awarded funding totaling about $12 million (about ¥960 million) under the new “Metabolomics for a Low Carbon Society” program, the first to be fully jointly coordinated by the two agencies. Up to 30% of agricultural productivity is lost to insects and disease.

The necessary set of new technologies must enable today’s poor to attain decent living standards, while reducing emissions and waste and ending the unrestrained drawdown of the Earth’s non-renewable resources. Such energy-use and emissions caps would not affect the development-related aspirations of developing countries.

Its like having a second fuel tank that you always use first -- only you fill up at home, from a regular outlet, at an equivalent cost of under $1/gallon. Lifetime service costs are lower for a vehicle that is mainly electric. At $3 for a gallon of gas, driving a non-hybrid car costs 8-20 cents/mile (depending on MPG).
