@ksteem Ah yeah September was like that for us, lots of cloud cover. But October was pretty clear up here. Oh that is interesting you export your power, I looked into it and its not really a good deal with my utility provider. So I consume almost all of the power instead of exporting it.
We have thought about getting an electric car, but we live in a very rural area. So there are fears we may not make it back home if we drive deep into the city, make a bunch of stops and then try to get home. But I am considering buying an electric UTV for around the farm.
Yes, for the car many often have that distance anxiety. It's an important consideration for sure. I'm not a fan of it for cross-state or long distance trips, but It's quite comfortable within the range limits. We've been driving once a week up to Jacksonville, which is 85 miles away, making stops, having lunch then driving back without any issues and generally still 100 miles left on the charge. I don't even think about worrying about short side trips and stops unless our main destination is over 100 miles away.. then would maybe need to think about a plan for a charging stop somewhere. For those longer trips, we take the other car or get a rental if going cross country.
