Interesting story about home automobile gasoline filling stations in residential property

That would work. It would have to be reasonably cost effective though. The Volt payback is in decades compared to a similar gas powered car.

But it can be done at 68 to 70 degrees indoors, not at 10 degrees and a 30 mph wind like re-fueling.

I'm taking option 1.

It is cheaper to run as the IC engine is not very efficient. The initial cost though, makes it prohibitive. I had the cost some time back and the payback for me is something like 28 years. I forget the numbers so I'm not going to guess here.

From what I've read, the heat and AC is not very good either, as you'd expect. I want some comfort in my 25 mile commute.

If the initial cost can be competitive in a small car, it would be good for the city commuter, the trip to the supermarket type of trip. That day may come, but it is not here yet.

Being 50 years older is one big reason. When I was 16 I could do a lot of things easer than I can at 66. I could even do some of them two or three times a day. :)

My assumption is that the electric car will come to pass simply because it's going to be a lot cheaper and simpler and faster and more profitable to manufacture and sell. Technology moves fast these days.

I'm sorry, my religion does not allow me to discuss such matters in mixed company. For was It not Jesus that said "thou shall not center post?" =F0=9F=8E=85

No doubt we will have a model that flies, too, before long! :)

Good move.

I think the electric car is being forced on us, by politicians who have little connection with reality. And want us to have the least effective consumer goods that can be forced on us. Detergents without phosphate, and the list goes on from there.

You mean two or three times a NIGHT, don't you? On the other hand, it now takes me all night to do what I used to do all night.

The can didnt blow up because the air-fuel mixture was too rich to ignite. Heating it just made it more so. Fumes escaping from the can probably did burn as they mixed with air and was ignited.
