There is one aspect that is often forgotten in the debate over EVs, which is the potential for independence they bring with them. Many homes (and numbers of industrial sites) already produce power which can be sold to the National Grid. There are already EV chargers which can use solar panel output and this will only increase over time.
It is, at least in theory, possible to harvest enough energy to power an EV in many homes. Then the car battery could be used as a ‘back-up’ power source for the home. If enough people were using their own power then the opportunity for Govt. taxing them would shrink.
Imagine being able to power your home and car with your own home – produced electricity.
