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.

I agree but keep in mind that people who like living out in the middle of nowhere don't nomally depend heavily on fancy computers and AC and stuff like that. For those reasons their initial cost is low (very few solar panels and very few batteries). The cabins are usually small which require much less electricity. The folks I've seen doing that type of living also figure out how to install everything themselves which saves quite a bit.....so yes, for those types it's a great deal!!
