If this place saves on petro chemical fuels, where does the energy come from that generates the power to do the charging?
People tend to ignore the fact that it takes a lot of energy to move oil across country to refineries, refine that oil into gasoline and diesel, and then deliver it nation wide to service stations. All of that also requires fossil fuels to get that fuel to us so we can burn it. :S
which is why pipelines are more efficient. we won't consider an electric vehicle much less a MH until two things occur:
a full re-charge takes the same amount of time it takes to refuel now...about 10-min for a 4-wheeler and maybe 20-min for the MH.
the range between charging is roughly the same as what we're seeing now...about 150-mi for the cars and 300-350 in the MH.
and of course the charging stations need to be where we are. American ingenuity being what it is i 'spose those conditions might occur before my wife and i leave this Earth but it'll be a race.
