Like the Environment Canada forecast, always great a few days out but never really happens

Yeah if you have 400amp service to your yard and can have a ‘Level 3 Fast Charger’ then they would be great.

Does saskpower wave demand charges to tesla owners? If so be a good way to reduce the power bill….er I mean asking for a friend….

The 3 levels of chargers

Level 1 chargers (100A service)
Uses a connection to a standard 120-volt outlet
Charges 8 km per hour
Takes 12 to 20 hours to fully charge a battery EV (6 to 12 hours for a plug-in hybrid)
Used mostly in homes

Level 2 chargers (200A service)
Uses a connection to a 240-volt outlet, like those used by ovens and clothes dryers
Charges 30 km per hour
Takes 6 to 14 hours to fully charge a battery EV (4 to 8 hours for a plug-in hybrid)
Used in homes, businesses, and common areas

Fast Chargers (also known as Level 3) (400A service)
Uses a direct current connection to an electrical system
Charges 100 km per 30 minutes or 80% charge at 50 kW (varies by vehicle type)
Takes 1 to 4 hours to fully charge a battery EV (15 minutes to 3 hours for a plug-in hybrid)

How large of a solar array would it take to charge your EV that you could use it 100 km/day?

[Sheepwheat]

How much does it cost to charge the average ev? No one talks about it. It must be free, just like the solar electricity they automatically are using.

$10.43 to charge a Tesla from empty to full roughly.

75kwh * price of power.

Akron at that value for power we are subsidizing the cars big time

The average cost to run a dryer for an hour depends on the power consumed by the dryer in an hour. Some dryers are electric and others run on gas, but electric dryers notoriously consume more energy than gas dryers do. Overall, dryers in the U.S. emit 32 million metric tons of carbon dioxide per year, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, and use 43 billion kilowatt hours and 443 million therms of natural gas.



Electric cars good!😀
Electric dryers bad!😒
Gas dryers good?🤡🤡🤡

So are we subsidizing our grain dryers also?


Or are we talking road tax?

Last power bill was $0.139 per kwh?

[SASKFARMER]

Road tax same as gas. Period?
