If you can charge it up from a wall socket, you can charge it up from a wall socket that's powered by rooftop photovoltaic panels. I've read stories of EV...
Nice thought but no one cares about where or how you get the electricity except maybe the pollution people. What is at issue here is the taxes that were...
