One of the many options to go green will expand later this year with new versions of an idea as old as the 1920s.
The electric car has been resurrected by GM, Nissan, Tesla and other companies.
High Noon Solar obtained a year 2000 electric Ford Ranger from an outlet in California. Ford made 1,400 hundred of these Ranger trucks and smashed 1,000 of them a couple years later. You will have to watch the movie “Who Killed The Electric Car” to see why this happened. GM, Chrysler, Toyota and Ford all had electric vehicles at that time.
Our EV Ford Ranger gets 60 miles per charge and takes eight hours to fill the battery when empty. The average driver in the US only drives 25 miles per day thus making the EV a perfect choice for 90 percent of your driving habits. The electricity from a coal plant needed to charge the EV is very inefficient and dirty but is way more efficient than driving a brand new car that gets close to the same mileage as a Ford Model T did back in the 1920s. We charge our EV with the solar electric system at our office, we are using a 15kw electric solar system to power our entire office and the truck.
By using the sun to create electricity and store it on the electric grid we can be extremely efficient and green when driving EVs. A new idea that some are already doing is to use your car's battery bank for storage. If the power grid were to fail, your car would then start feeding battery power to an inverter and powering the home during the power outage. You can also buy and sell the car's battery power to the power company, buy power at night when electricity is cheaper and sell back power to the power company when you are at work during higher electric rates. This idea of a tiered rate structure is in place in some parts of Colorado now but not yet here in GJ.
Get ready for the future of electricity on a whole new level. You can contact High Noon Solar for more info on EVs and where to get them or how to use solar to power your home and your new GREEN electric car.
