thats the thing. Effieciency cost wise and time wise says 480. No neighborhood is set up for 480. IE even if you wanted to up grade the power companies can't provide 480 without redoing all the lines.

If this becomes common just think all the blackouts.. Once again we don't have enough electricity to deal with heat and cooling across the country. Much less EV. Solar could be independent but I've no clue the cost to produce 60 amps 240 to charge X hours.

I suppose if you can afford the array, storage batteries and or time, plus the car and ONLY solar charged it then it could be a thing. For minor trips and such.

Of course everything usually comes down in cost eventually.

That said the hate of nuclear power and the getting rid of fossil fuel plants for power...
NONE of this bodes well.

Keep developing electrical and solar and wind, see if its self sufficient eventually. IE not subsidized. Then maybe we can get somewhere.

That said, if your service is big enough to add the amps, putting in a plug 240 really is nothing at all to it. ITs not hard. Not rocket science. but do have to have knowledge.

We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
