I totally want an EV and solar power…
Posted By Corey on May 25th, 2008
Lately I’ve been digging the idea of selling my 06 GTI and somehow acquiring a good EV. I figure an EV combined with solar power on the roof of a house would be a wicked way of doing things. I guess the only real limitation at this point is financial. I can’t afford a Tesla, but that’s exactly the type of car I’d go for, especially since I only need something that’ll do 80-100 miles a day. It’s a shame the thing is so expensive, normally I’d never consider spending more than $30K on a car but somehow an EV would be the one exception to that. The Wrightspeed X1 would be cool if it were $50K, enclosed (only because of Seattle rain… and street legal.
I wonder how hard it would be to convert the GTI to all electric.

Well I wish I could afford the Tesla, but no. And sadly I don’t think I could afford to convert the GTI to an EV. But seriously EV’s kick ass. I mean dude, look at the Tesla, imagine that car were 30K how awesome would that be? Day to day I don’t drive more than 60 miles an EV is a perfect solution for me. I just want something that’s fun to drive regardless if it is clean or is as bad as a Hummer.
My hope is that by the time I can afford an EV I can afford to add some solar panels to the house and not only power the house but the EV too. Now if only the government would offset that cost with other benefits.
