Schneider Level 2 EV Charger, $699 at Home Depot

Are you some kind of a retard who cannot read with basic understanding? I've stated clearly I run on coal (power plants transitioning to natural gas though) and nuke; all domestic, and SOON my own solar... What the F do you want???

One gallon of gas (wells to wheels) takes 7.5 kWh of energy to produce. It is indeed very close to zero emission when comparing to gas (aside from stiffing the Arab man) as I can cover 25-30 miles on that energy alone before the gallon reaches the gas station.

Be happy others use less gas, so you can gladly pay $3.50 instead of $4.50 for example. I'm not hurting anyone, just helping myself and my own country.

Eh, the economics actually can work out. If you drive 30 miles to and from work, which is not unheard of where I'm at in SE Michigan, it would take about 10 years for the cost of gas to offset the cost of the car + charging. Assuming: Electric Focus, $0.08/kwh off peak charging compared to Gas Focus, 30 mpg with $4/gal gas and 15,000 miles a year of driving on both. That's not too unreasonable, especially when you consider all of the gas you didn't consume.


This charger won't even work on a Tesla... they had to go all Apple and make their own charger.

I don't think electric is really as green as everyone thinks.
Where do you guys think electricity comes from?

Don't buy the Electric Vehicle charger from Schneider Electric. Buy from an American company.

Buy it from Eaton Corp, that's where I work. If you can afford an electric vehicle then you should be able to afford to buy one of these chargers made by an American company instead of one from Germany.
