    Makes sense when something like the GMC Hummer is as expensive as a fucking house. No idea who is paying $100k USD for one of these.

      There are tons of hummer EVs in my city, I see at least 2-3 daily. But you’re also not buying a house for anywhere near 100,000 in my city unless it was a meth manufacturing facility right before you bought it

      People who can use IRS section 179.

      Lets you write off the whole car as depreciation in year 1.

    How would such a use affect the car batteries? Ideally you’d use different batteries for fixed installations than cars, as weight is less of a concern than longevity ; a car sitting idle like 70-80% of a day sees way less battery activity than a home panel, which should be charged/discharged more constantly.

      it’s not really a feature you’d use at home except to power essential items during a power outage. so maybe they’re looking at marketing these mostly in Texas.
