[RFI] Wireless Power Transfer with electric vehicles

[Jim Chaggaris]

Hi Jim,

I beg to disagree, the current administration has no desire to increase electric power production through efficient, proven and clean nuclear and natural gas.  Any electric power production that has to do with wind, solar, geo-thermal is not an efficient and effective way of producing electricity for the grid.  Without PTC's (Production Tax Credits) from the Government, renewables wouldn't exist.  They cost too much, aren't efficient and only appease the tree huggers.   I laugh every time I see someone driving an over priced Tesla and all the energy that goes into producing such a vehicle.  YMMV

73,

The current administration's infrastructure plans call for significantly beefing up generation capacity and well as distribution. Just as current capacity is quite sufficient for the current number of EVs, as more are sold, so will there be more power.

It IS much more economical to run and maintain over the long term, but it's unlikely we'll be able to drive it long enough for it to pay US back. We love the car -- it's quite well engineered. Several neighboring hams, including N6TV, W6JTI, W0YK, W3AB, and W6GJB drive an EV -- mostly Tesla, but also Chevy Bolt. All are made in the USA, and all of us are quite happy with them. They have STRONG acceleration, handle well, and are a pleasure to drive.

Meanwhile, my big Toyota 2006 SUV, bought new in 2005, sits in our driveway, with about 210,000 miles on it, not having moved in nearly a year. We're keeping for hauling stuff too big for the cars we drive every day. I loved it for all of the 15 years it was my primary vehicle, but it drinks three times as much gas as the Prius.
