Does anyone on this forum own an EV. Be honest!

If you find land located far from the grid, it's usually pretty cheap. The cost of connecting the grid may be several times the cost of a complete solar system. It certainly makes sense in that situation. 22 years ago I was commissioned to design a multi-fuel generator that would be the household PRIMARY electricity supply. A developer wanted to put a neighborhood on a plot of land purchased for a song -- way up in the mountains outside Provo, UT. The generators were to run primarily on CNG or LPG, with gasoline as a back-up.
