Eventually nobody.

Capitalism isn't about sustainability, it's about making the most amount of profit in the shortest amount of time.

Eventuall you bleed everyone dry and nobody has a job. But for a short amount of time the shareholders will have had a huge number of 0's and 1's in a database somewhere equating to their "worth"

Definitely better inside your chest than outside it. So I hear.

I'd bet the conversion companies could almost as easily convert the phev Pacifica as the gas only Pacifica.

Agreed, most people don't really know how far an ev goes on a kWh. In my experience: Trucks average 15-20mpg. Evs average 2.5-4mi/kWh.

Let's take the high of the truck and the low of the ev for comparisons. 8.32/20=0.42/mile gasoline 0.42/2.5=0.17/mile electric

In my case both are cheaper as my fuel is~$4.30/gal, and the car I drive gets 38mpg. (0.11/mile) But also my electricity is 0.12/kWh and my electric car gets average 4mi/kWh. (0.03/mile)

Obviously sabotage.

He weaseled his way into the company and changed an engineers documents without them noticing, causing them to over rate the motor controller......

Or just an over current, which could be as simple as surge when connecting due to a discharged capacitor.

Self fulfilling prophesy that works to generate more profit for the company.

You do understand how much energy (and therefore pollution) it takes to launch any significant mass above the karman line, right?

I have enphase inverters as well. I don't find their data to be useful.

I went the route of installing two circuit setup boards running esp8266. One is installed in the subpanel in the garage where the solar feeds, the other is installed at the main panel on the main cables before any loads.

This way I can more accurately see production and usage. And can tell during production how much I'm actually utilizing before sending residual back to grid.

If I had only one panel and the solar fed directly into it, I'd use one of the 6 channel circuitsetup boards instead to monitor both solar feed and main.

But they are allowed to lie to you, and allowed to pull you over for perceived infractions. So, yes they can pull you over for "nothing".

A good rule of thumb is to look just below the side mirrors. The average height person seated correctly will see the stop line appear just below the side mirrors when the front bumper is at the line.

Easy way to know with yourself in your own car is to park right at the line, then sit in the drivers seat and compare where the line is in relation to the mirrors when seated normally.
