o replace they will never consider burning them up with this sort of plan.

to use the batteries in parked electric cars for grid storage, the batteri es will become much cheaper to replace - the car manufacturers may want to price them as single-sourced spare parts, but they won't be able to get awa y with it.

and the EV manufacturers will revoke your 100,000-mile warranty.

all sort of thing that the electric vehicle manufacturers might try to do to rip off their customers, but if society as a whole sees the sense in usi ng the batteries in parked electric cars for grid storage - once most cars are electric the parked cars could deliver something like four or five tim es the peak output from the grid for some hours - the electric vehicle manu facturers aren't going to have that option.

er telling us that this doesn't make sense to you. Few things do.

Hey SL0W MAN,

There you go AGAIN - repeating the insult "stupid" (at least you spelled it right this time!), a sure sign of a TROLL.

Who the hell is going to "pay" for it? You socialists just don't understand that the only one who can pay is the CONSUMER, one way or another. The bot tom line is that battery storage of energy is VERY EXPENSIVE - nat gas is M UCH CHEAPER.

Forget about SL0W MAN understanding anything - he already has the solution looking for a problem.

Adding solar panels to a car's roof MIGHT produce 0.8 KWh per day (not much if you park in a parking garage or if buildings block the sunlight). That will get you about 2.3 mi for Tesla Model 3 at a cost of around $2,000 to $

Hmm. I was thinking a lot more power. Say 2 kw peak power and parked at work fo r 8.5 hours. So maybe 8 kwh. or 10 times your estimate. So maybe a $600 a year Not really worth while at this time. Maybe reasonable ten years fr om now.

Why do you say it would have to be flexible panels?

Sure. Dan was suggesting that he doesn't have much grasp of reality. Nothing new there.

Even Flyguy can spell it out for Dan. And is stupid enough to waste the tim e to do it.
