Another waste of time with fantasy & hypotheticals.
The premise I posed wasn't about you.
It was about your average day working Joe ----
takes the car to work during the day
how does he use solar to charge his car at night - dickhead.
You mean to say that you won't entertain any attempt at me answering a hypothetical scenario? Myself, nor any of my family members have an electric vehicle. I cannot tell you an answer as I have not even been inside an electric vehicle.
The average day working Joe might only charge his car every now and then. And, despite your claims, not every person works during the day and every day. Perhaps they keep the car on a charge during the weekend or their days off. And there is nothing wrong with the idea that battery storage could be used for solar panels to allow for that stored energy to be transferred into charging a vehicle at night. Again, I would not know because my electricity usage is from the grid, not solar panels.
Seems like you are the dickhead, with you constant chip on your shoulder attitude. Get your anger management issues sorted out.
You're a complete imbecile.
You don't need to own an EV to answer the question -
it is a hypothetical question
if someone owns an EV & goes to work in it during the day
how do they charge it at night with solar?
ahhhhh so now you add the battery storage - which is another considerable oncost that you couldn't afford.
I guess you are talking about those people that work 12 hours a day 7 days a week. They probably have to work from sun up to sundown and don't charge their expensive EVs from their expensive rooftop solar panels.
I don't know if you noticed, but another user said that EVs don't need to be charged every day. If memory serves me correctly, the member said that he only charges his vehicle once every 3 days (if that). So, why would you need to be charging your EV every time you are home? You can just charge your EV on your day off. Unlike you back in your working days, 95% of all workers work less than 50 hours a week.
The only thing you're right about is that I don't have an EV, and probably won't get one (unless there is no choice but to use them). But, even if I have to work 60 hours a week (to make up for all the free time I had in my 30s), I will still have a day or two off work to charge this yet-to-be-bought electric vehicle.
There was also a comment that electric vehicle costs about one-twentieth the cost of a petrol vehicle. If you cannot afford an extra $40 to your power bill, but $300 less to your fuel bill, you have your priorities mixed up.
An EV would be no good to you - you get lost in a 2 acre paddock.
All your detours & 100s of klm roundabouts would see your battery flat in the middle of nowhere.
