That prices for photovoltaic are dropping rapidly:
next, EV please.
In Denver, a person with a house gets subsidized rates for electricity. By parking their EV in their garage and charging overnight, they can pay 4.2¢ per kWh.
Meanwhile, a person like me who lives in an apartment and must charge his car during the day at public chargers like EVGo or Electrify America, pays 59¢ per kWh.
This means that assuming a typical 70 kWh charge (from almost empty to almost full) costs:
- For the house-owner: $2.94
- For the apartment dweller: $41.30
That's almost a 15x difference! (Yay for EV economics).
We don't have an economy. We have two economies. We have a severely bimodal economy.
