EV home charger voltage.

[phalanx]

You can charge your electric car using standard 120 volt(V) home outlets (Level 1), 208-240V outlets like those used by your dryer (Level 2), or dedicated 480V+ public fast chargers (DC Fast Charging).
This morning i saw a run down of road charger cost. It was almost as much as gas. Price per hour, user fees, taxes.
kWh.

Most electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles available today can only accept a maximum of 16 to 32-amps, while charging on a level 2, 240-volt charging station. However, there are charging stations available today that can deliver more power, even though very few electric vehicles can actually accept it.

I don't find them economical at all, and scammers are coming in now. 240vac is what everyone wants.
For a home charge and that takes four hours.
Do our power plants have the capability ?

Electric cars aren't practical yet
They should cost about half of
a gasoline car and cost at least
a third to run overall
Maybe in another couple of decades

From what ive been reading they are not practical yet. And ownership is more expensive. I knew a lady who had a Toyota hybrid and it was ok. It switched back and forth.

Yeah hydrogen fuel cell  We still have deep space probes that are still running on it for years. When solar is not available. Voyager 1 and 2.

A future of no oil, or gas, is:
1.)  lubricant free - ergo, frictionless
2.)  punctuated by battery fires
3.)  no AAA to the rescue
4.)  lines and long waits to charge
5.)  short duration trips
6.)  routine and customary strandings
7.)  brown- and black-outs
8.)  EXPENSIVE - another way to separate the "Have" from "Have Nots"
9.)  impractical
10.)  ludicrous
11.)  laughable

It doesn't matter whether you build a million wind turbines and solar panels, or a billion, or a trillion. On a calm night, they will still produce nothing, and will require full back-up from some other source.

No amount of incremental wind and solar power generation on their own can ever provide a reliable 24/7 electricity grid.

It’s simple. 2 supply lines. 1 for the elites and what is left goes to the pee on’s.

The really sad part is that so
many think that electricity and
natural gas and oil will just perpetually
flow and go forever and ever.
I was discussing it the other day and
they were like,  well we bought a generator
and we'll always have power.. . .
Well how much gasoline do you have on
hand?  People don't stop and think things
through.  If there's no power, the stations
won't be pumping ( or selling) and that
includes refilling your vehicle after you
drove to try to buy generator gasoline.
No water or power for your well pump
if you're lucky enough to have a well.
An easily contaminated surface water
source won't be of any use.

Maybe in a couple of decades they'll
come up with the technology to gather
air as a vehicle rolls along and can extract
hydrogen from the air and replenish the
fuel as you're traveling. Depending on
fuel resupply as you travel is not always
reliable even now

they can convince me to give up my gas powered vehicles when those left wing liberals are willing to give up there cell phones because they to use petroleum products and with the milions of them made every year must create alot of pollution and add to global warming too. Not only that but the pollution created charging them every day or two. Id bet if you went to a global warming protest youd find a cell phone in about every pocket there. Probably 95 percent ot the people there drove many miles in a gas powered car to get there.
