some would say I am just transferring the energy to the grid.
2 notes.
One your gas comes "from the grid" too and a battery is around 90% efficient your gasoline engine is around 1-2% efficient (converts maybe 1-2% of the energy in gasoline to HEAT and your engine then extracts maybe 20-25% of that "heat" energy and converts that to mechanical motion)
Two. electricity is DIRT CHEAP compared to gasoline.
my MPG will go up (in theory quite a bit) while my electric bill will also go up the increase will be a microscopic fraction of the amount I save in gasoline.
at least in theory.
