Solar Powered Transport
40% of EV owners have a PV system
✦ 100% utilization of solar✦ No vehicular drag✦ Charge up day or night✦ Time-Of-Use Billing
With a Utility-tie Solar System:
40% of California EV owners own a PV system. EPA Testing Leaf range:ideal conditions: 222km 61km/hr no air conditioner, no heat, highway traffic 110km @0C heater on= 102 km
Drive 16k km/yr. Gas costs $1800/yr (28mpg $1.30/litre)
Also oil and filter, tuneups etc vs. battery replacement (Li-ion = 11yrs+)
Solar Powered Charging Station
Mitsubishi Motors employee parking
in California
47% of EV owners charge up at work

Economics of the Holy Grail
Holy grailSecond carCan utilize a plug in hybrid like a Prius or a Chevy VoltGas prices will go up
Assumptions:Average Canadian auto = 16,000km/yr.
Gasoline cost = $1.00/litreSolar Resource in Edmonton: 1Watt of PV yields 1.245kWh/yr
Electric Vehicle is already paid forMy electric vehicle averages = 6.5km/kWh
