True, Zach....the difference is, the taxpayers don't pay for your setup
!!
An apparent complaint about clean air EV incentives, while ignoring the petroleum subsidies of about $3300 per dirty-air gas car. Which is now about the same as the $3750 Tesla incentive. But, the Tesla incentive will decrease by half in the next six months and then zero. While the dirty gas car continues to get subsidized by tax payers for decades...
We should end this thread as off topic, but need to correct any misinformation. Bob

A Chevy Volt can run a Field Day (or a house under minimum power) for about 8 hours before it has to start the engine to recharge the battery. These 3 year-old off-lease Volts go for only about $12k.
Seems a bit overkill when a marine deep-cycle and a solar panel will run you about $500, no? ;-)
