What are you guys complaining about? Lol

 

LOL. A 12mw system costs $20k but I got 30% off that with tax incentives. My EV cost $57k. I saved about $300 a month for house with solar and its been 3 years so I've saved about $11k. My EV has saved about $3k a year in gas and i've had it about 2.5 years so about $8k. So my $12.5k solar system is almost breakeven in less than 4 years with just my house electricity as offset. The EV is just a bonus.

I'm actually hugely positive in surplus so if I get another EV, it will actually be breakeven in the energy i use vs. the energy i produce.

 

Right? I can't remember the last time I paid under $4.

 

I pass by the gas station near my house and am so thankful I never have to stop there. Regular is nearly $5. In the last two months I think I paid less than $40 to "fill-up" my Polestar, and I'm already at 1,500 miles

 

Great. Gas prices will finally get rid of pick up trucks in suburban areas where they are only used to pick up groceries.

 

Don't count on it lol.

 

Unlike a deck, or a swimming pool, or an additional room, Solar not only adds value to your property, but actually pays for itself. Plus you don't get any tax incentives for a deck or a pool. I bet if he remodeled his kitchen you would think that was an OK addition and expense

 

The future is near

 

Thanks........I didn't know it was that high in the L.A. Region. Doesn't surprise me, though....gas is usually higher in CA.

 

Oh, I agree that the D.C. area hasn't had it as bad as some other parts of the country. I mentioned that in my OP.....and a number of the commenters in this thread have verified that. And the many relatively high incomes in the D.C. area also help some people ride it out.

 

LOL I want one of those bad boys 😅

 

let's not turn this into a political thread or a thread on EVs or virtue-signaling abut having solar power, etc.

 

How are gas prices where you are? I suspect maybe a little lower than in my area.

 

89 midgrade is about 3.75 here

 

87 is still largely under $4 in MD...
