Quote from Cache Landing:
How much amperage does it draw when you plug it in? And on the other hand, if the battery is that good, why not pair it with solar panels? Wouldn't that be much better than amping up your utility bill?
And then, if you're going to use solar... Why not make it solar/hydrogen hybrid so that you don't have to burn any alcohols?
I did see a prototype with roof mounted solar panels, that would be cool. Here's a good site explaining the charging side. They say it's like 0.72 cents on average for 60 miles of electrical driving. Compare that with $3 a gallon plus you save the trip to the gas station, now you're saving even more and have the satisfaction of not feeding the big oil terrorist. You can charge with a 220v plug or even a 110v if you don't mind waiting. ALTI is coming out with a nano battery that charges in a few minutes. Take a look at this site.
