>>1912994>you just charge at home every night).Have you considered just how much energy transport uses?
A typical electrical vehicle consumes up to 100kW while accelerating and more generally consumes ~15kWh per 100km. ~7km / kWh or ~4.5 miles per kWh. e.g. 50 miles is 1kW for 11 hours or 11kW for 1 hour.
How much do your other electrical appliances consume?
An oven: ~2.5kW
A refrigerator: 700 Watts
A TV or computer: 300 Watts, 500 Watts.
A water heater: 2.5kW.
For most people, their electric vehicle will consume far, FAR more electricity than all their other appliances combined.
So how many existing vehicles are there? In the USA, about 280 million.
280 million vehicles to be replaced with electric, all apparently just being plugged in and charged overnight.
Germany for example, have one of the highest electricity prices; electricity costs about €0.28 /kWh
An average gasoline vehicle will do about 8l/100km; 12.5km/l - 29mpg.
So this means there is now a direct connection between the price of gasoline and the price of domestic electricity. The current price of gas in Germany for example is about $7.34/gallon - €1.80/litre
Given that litre allows you to travel 12km, that is equivalent to 1.7kWh of electricity. So todays €0.50 of electricity is equivalent to €1.80 of gasoline.
I am heavily investing into electrical utilities across all the countries which are electrifying their transportation system because I expect the price of domestic electricity to at a minimum match the price of gasoline over the next decade. i.e. To quadruple or more.
I'm also heavily investing into heavy engineering companies, because power stations don't just appear out of thin air.
And I'm heavily investing in coal, nuclear and oil companies because power stations need fuel.
You are going to be paying me every time you charge.
