Envision sees cost of electric cars at parity by 2025/26

The cost of making electric cars will reach parity with internal combustion cars by around 2025/26, the head of Envision Racing forecast on Tuesday, a step expected to accelerate the industry's transition to cleaner, greener vehicles.

You can make $: V2G: Vehicle to Grid

Winemaker goes from high energy bill to added profit using his Nissan LEAF's solar energy storage capabilities

Facing rising electricity costs that climbed to around $6,000 a year, one winemaker decided he had had enough. Joseph Evans first installed a solar energy system to power his entire property while the sun was out. However, he wanted to take it a step further.

Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) Tech Saves Boulder $270/Month

Today the City of Boulder and Fermata Energy released the results of how one Nissan LEAF saves the City of Boulder $270/month in energy savings, by using the stored energy from the LEAF to power their rec center. That is equal to the monthly payment for the LEAF.

Can vehicle-to-grid facilitate the transition to low carbon energy systems?

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is when electric vehicles (EVs) provide services to the power grid, such as shifting when they charge or discharging to serve peaks loads. At scale, an aggregator can coordinate and optimize the charge and discharge of individual vehicles to function as a synergistic, bulk energy resour

Buying an EV

$7,500 credit: how it works, which cars

I dig this nice summary from Electrek

Here's every electric vehicle that qualifies for the current US federal tax credit

As sales of electric vehicles continue to surge, many new and prospective customers have questions about qualifying for federal tax credit on electric vehicles, especially now that a slew of new credits have been reinstated to US consumers (alongside their fair share of confusing and ever-evolving conditions) Whether you qualify is not a simple yes or no question...

Converting

Bikes

This is really fun and simple to do. It can be done cheaply for ~$200. I’d recommending a ~$300-$600 package from Grin.

Grin Technologies - Great at e-bike conversion parts

Night Shift Bikes - my motorcycle and bike projects, not for sale, just sharin’

Motorcycles

I’m part of a community of folks who convert electric motorcycles for personal use. I wouldn’t buy a converted bike from anyone; they’re poorly regulated and mostly for personal use by qualified builders. If you’re in that category, here are a few places I rely on for guidance:

elmoto.net - old-school board for builders

Night Shift Bikes - my motorcycle and bike projects

Cars

Realistically, this is an expensive endeavor. Most reputable shops are going to ask you to bring a very nice used car that they won’t have to repair. They’ll put likely Tesla battery packs and Tesla or Netgain motors in it and charge you 35-75K. Here are the two best shops IMO.

IRA Calculator

RA’s Electrification Calculator

This is a comprehensive calculator on incentives available in the Inflation Reduction Act. It can be a little rosy on install costs, but it’s a great place to drill down on what and when to make swaps.

Plug in get in where you live and what income bracket you’re in for details on what you’ll get out of the IRA.

Which EVs can I get now? tl;dr: Not many….:45-:55

Automakers are working hard to adjust to the new rules on where batteries are made and where cars are assembled.
Add supply chain/COVID/chip scarcity/inflation and it’s a bad time to buy a car, so TL;DR is hold off as long as you can.
