[quote=Anonymous]I’m uncomfortable with the environmental impact of the manufacturing process for batteries as well as disposal of them. I live in a sfh and street park and even if I didn’t the city won’t upgrade power to our house beyond the 200A we have but also won’t permit the addition of a charger with our current service. My neighbors who have sufficient service are finding that the city engineers are throttling their EV charger permit approvals because the infrastructure for our neighborhood is insufficient to support the significant increase in demand for power. We aren’t sure if they will upgrade the grid near us or if this is a long-term constraint. Adding solar is not a solution because it isn’t counted as additional power in our permitting process (western state that’s not CA).[/quote]
