I figure if I have storage, then I should pull from the storage at night rather than the grid and once the battery storage if filled, the surplus will go back to the grid during the day. Unless I am missing something. -

I mean, you'll probably pull from the grid since the EVs charge at night, but your NET will be adding to the grid daily rather than taking. -

Ahhhh, this reminds me of so many good movies. That building has been used in many movies. This years Tradeshow building has been Brutal. I will be so happy when this is all over and in June I can get back to having time to write stories for C&G. I have a part 2 that I need to complete on all the added details around the MAGMA GV60 as that auto is so cool with the tech. It puts both BMW M series and the Mercedes AMG series to shame. Korea has really stepped up their game in performance. -

Here in Washington State, there are incentives to turn your roof into a complete Solar panel with storage and the county / state will buy back any excess. I have many coworkers who have done this and now just charge their EVs for free pretty much. As one that is planning a complete remodel of the house for retirement as the wife and I have decided to stay put till we are 6ft under, the one thing I will do is change the roof into a 45-degree angle with complete solar panels and storage. The assessments are showing that I will more than be able to power the whole house and charge my EVs with no pulling from the grid, but excess that I can sell back into the grid. EV is the future, Solar charging just makes it so much better.- 1

I am looking for witnesses, cross-checks, and people whose lived contact with reality exposes the theater. Its why I love the discussions here when they are rational. -

just by going up lol. I use to be able to get a solar/wind contract for 8c/kWh as recently as 2 years ago. I get the rates e-mailed to me once a week and they range from 12.5c - 14c. That's really close to my house. I can often hear them.- 1

Not just us, Asia and Europe are suffering much harder than we are with the Hormuz blockade. There will be a worldwide shift. One interesting thing, there are a lot of German vehicle manufacturers who will be left out I think as China has cracked the EV thing. With the decline of America in NATO, it makes sense to me that Germany will use its auto plants to re arm. I wonder how energy contracts will evolve with the changes in society and industry. -

In many states you can sign 1 or 2 year rate contracts. That only covers the cost of the generation and not the delivery, but even delivery is set by the state and is usually once a year rate change at most. I've had green energy contracts for my house for years. It's nice to know my rate is fixed.- 2

Yep. that's one of my biggest issues, the instability. I REALLY doubt my electricity rates will just double in a month or triple in a year or anything wild like that.- 2
