Sounds like a fun drive. Honey, you drive while I figure out where we're going based on these superchargers. Romantic.

And you still don't get it. You don't have to sell me on the technology. It's the mandate I oppose. And will do so with great fervor. Partly because the infrastructure literally doesn't exist. And it won't in 13 years.
CA has been trying to improve their electrical infrastructure for well over a decade. And what have we got? Brown outs and power cable forest fires. Even without the plug in EV's to worry about.

So what are you saying? that NOW it will be different?
LOL! Not even you can believe that.

The house is rated at 200 amps 120V.
If every appliance in your home were 240V you'd only be rated for 100 amps with the same service.

That's why a typical panel will require two slots for the breaker on a 240 line, instead of just the one.


You don't need to be an engineer to know this.

Nope. No mandates.

No - if all circuits were 240 volts - you get the same amps.

You would have to be an engineer or electrician to know that house with 200 amp service would have 48,000 watts maximum, because homes get 240 volts split in 2 legs of the same phase.
If you only use one leg to neural - you only get 24,000 watts, because its all 120 volt.
Home circuits are almost always of mix the two single phase voltages.
btw - you only get to use 160 amps continuously according to code.

The take away here is that if you were to use all 240 volt breakers you would get twice the power with the same 200 amps.

Twice the power hidden in the panel - who knew?

Timely piece on the news radio today.

The Pilgrim Nuclear Plant in Plymouth MA is not allowed to trickle out the radioactive cooling wastewater into the bay. Seems that despite "the science", the environmentalists are putting up a fight.
And there's only a million gallons of it...

Next up:
The town of Falmouth MA (here on Cape Cod) is finally tearing down two large wind turbines that have sat dormant for years due to public displeasure with them.
Loud.
Health and mental well being due to flicker effect.
Ugly.


I'm sure both stories could be blamed on your typical NIMBY mentality.
But we're in Massachusetts.
We're bluer than LaLa Land on the opposite coast.

If a bunch of liberals can't or won't allow alternative energy sources, how on earth are we going to revamp our entire electric infrastructure to accommodate an all-EV marketplace in just 13 years?

Looks like New York is issuing a no new gas car mandate in 2035 too.

Bravo!
