@PearsonArtPhoto it's hard for me to see things from the real beginner's perspective this is intended for. To me the pacing is slow, but that's me. I prefer very information dense videos with details. the only other thing is i disagree with most of the points. :P
i don't think it's possible for a person to have an educated opinion as to which destination is best without seeing it in context. those could be later videos - why it's better than the moon or an orbital settlement.
Huh. It seems like I can get a program to charge my car for only $0.05/kWh, if I agree to do it only at night. The cost goes up if I do it during the day.
@PearsonArtPhoto Which is normal. Load balancing is a real issue, and if they can keep the plants running at night, and do not need to run peak support plants, all is good. Smart way is when the cars can pump power back into the grid at peak and let you sell back to utility.
I think the tesla app lets you control when the car charges? I.e. Plugin but control when it draws power. Worth looking into that. Then woul dbe easy to plugin when you get home and control charging.
But the timer goes, right at the power box, before the run to the plug begins. I know 110V is easily available. I think they make higher power run versions as well.
I'm 99% sure that Tesla supports time based charging.
I'll tell you what, when Tesla powerwall supports time based charging, it could be fun to charge the battery full during that time, use it during the day, and just save money.
