Lots of utilities are giving incentives for home vehicle charging installs and many have a cheap EV rate for EV charging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m really interested in how the Ram Charger will do. I think this is way until they can perfect batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make money from selling electricity. There is probably very few Utilities in the US that don’t have individual and business rebates for installing home or business charging equipment as well even California utilities have special EV rates that are typically cheaper then the normal rate. Other then a few hours a couple days a year, varies by region, the utility grid has excess capacity that Utilities would love to be able to sell more electricity then they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solar is increasing energy to the grid every day as homes are converted to solar arrays. Yes, select areas, select offerings, but it's not an open invitation to development every where. There is community push back in certain states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
