The grid, which can handle plug-ins in peak demand?
Most of US still burning today. Many argue that the weather is a result of global warming. Let's say that is 100 percent true, and the situation will only get worse. This means that more extreme weather conditions all around, either by hot summers and very cold winters.
Thus, if the grid is annoyed now, what happens if you add million plug-ins in the equation?
According to the EIA, electricity prices increase at the end of last week, almost immediately jump 3.5 times more than normal. If million plug-in vehicles were added to the mixture, the problem will be worsened significantly?
Many studies paint a rather rosy grid image plug-in effect on the grid. Recently, however, and somewhat ironically plug-in Builder and advocate best place painted a less beautiful story regarding the impact of the plug-ins for pricing electricity. According to the best position, without a central smart grid technologies, plug-ins will add significant costs of electricity prices. Even with these technologies, in accordance with the best seats, plug-ins will continue to push higher electricity prices.
One way or another it seems fairly clear that plug-ins will result in an increase of electricity prices, although plug-in fueling costs should continue to be cheaper than oil-based. Of course, plug-ins cost more and deliver less area, etc from oil-based solutions. Thus, the real world cost billing is an extremely important part of the type of plug-in.
However, if growth of demand for electricity, adding technologies smart grid or a completely new smart grid, global warming or the need to replace gasoline taxes VMT tax for infrastructure, an electric future will be more expensive than today. At some point, honesty and transparency that should become a major part of adding a picture, as do — and should — in the case of petrol-engined cars.
For example, why isn't the billions of dollars are spent annually to secure oil tanker waterways — even during times of peace — is not part of the pump price, instead of hidden military taxes?
In addition, the aneilikrinis petrol pricing should not be an excuse for aneilikrinis plug-in potential projections.
Eventually, the US will have to become more serious with regard to the long-term energy policy. Development of the best projects forward without honest transparency only secures the future will not be as bright, what was possible.
