Phenom Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 The jury is out still for me on wind and solar farms. You as a consumer are still at the mercy of a large corporation. My plan is for personal solar with battery backup and a propane powered generator for those rare times I may need it. As a final option I can go full primitive and heat my house and water with my wood burning stove. I have 40 acres of woods to harvest dead falls…my supply is way more than my demand.

Gold Member BOHICA Posted December 11, 2021 Gold Member Share Posted December 11, 2021 I find it crazy how cheap it is and how easy on the wallet electric vehicles are. Have about 1200 miles in a week and my total fuel cost have been $50.62 for that distance. At 25 mpg and premium fuel as required by any other premium sport sedan with AWD I have saved about $140 in a week in fuel cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish there was a awd electric transit van or suv as my dogs go with us everywhere, we go 50 miles a day at a minimum every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivian R1S is going to be the first true suv IMO…. Even though the experts call the Mach e, model y and x SUV’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the new tax credit gets pushed thru it would be 62,000. If they unionize in the new tax credit the cost would go down to 57500 if the BBB tax credit passes. explorer pack is nicely equipped…. 4 motor 835 hp, 316 mile range, 10 year 175,000 mile battery and powertrain warranty. https://rivian.com/r1s Edited December 11, 2021 by BOHICA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
