Yeah. A lot of trade offs. You can make clean electricity but the grid can have problems. The batteries need to be recycled and that is tricky to do right.
Lots of interesting solutions out there but most are in their infancy. Baby steps
I recently watched a video about EVs that was interesting. There was a study that looked at what American car buyers would want before a majority would consider an EV:
1) price under $36000
2) Range of 290 miles
3) ability to charge from almost empty to almost full in 31 minutes or less
We are close but not quite there
I got an EGo self propelled mower with a 7.5 Ah 56V ARC lithium battery and fast charger. So quiet and little maintenance needed.
I will be getting one of their weed trimmers next year. Maybe the leaf blower too
I will say again how much I am enjoying my new battery powered mower.
That thing is the cats meow. I can do my entire yard and still have almost half a battery charge left
First full sun dog walk in a while. Nailed a few deer flies with the zapper. They were slow and bumbly due to the cooler temps. Later today they should be vicious
Wow... the car we rented for our upcoming trip for $1200 for the week (yikes) is now over $3000 for the week...
Thank god I got it when I could. I do wish I could go back in time though... would have been a couple of hundred cheaper a month earlier
My guess is that until schools get out they might be short staffed? A lot of the attractions and booths are manned by high school kids. In the past they had a lot of kids from other countries working at it, but that tailed off about 10 years ago...
