However here in ca, our electric rates top out at .45 a kw.
Big oil are unelected multinationals that take your money and store it in tax havens to avoid paying tax. 10% of the worlds GDP is stored in Tax havens by the richest people in the world. Most of these have wealth from oil at least in part... Also look at the Koch influence in American Politics, its staggering.
The right does their best to undercut electric cars because their donors are afraid that their monopoly on influence and global power might be diminished. They fear electric cars which is why you feel like somehow moving from a dependence on fossil fuel multinationals to locally produced electrical grids is scary.
It's also the reason why America has THE WORST public transport in the western world, Big Oil influences the government to prevent them operating in the interests of the people. The Koch brothers in particular make money off many car parts as well as the fuel that runs them that if a city installed an effective public transport system they would potentially lose money and political influence. Electric cars are a small step to returning a government elected by the people for the people.

The cost of a customer owned system and the power it produces over time dictate the overall cost per kWh (leased systems are a little different). Batteries, while they have their advantages, do not produce power and as such they only make a cost per kWh calculation worse. Eventually batteries will be a huge deal in CA as they are rapidly becoming in Hawaii, but for now they are convenience, not a money saver.
Waaaay too many variables to consider in the cost of ICE vs DC powered cars. That doesn't even remotely figure into my .05 claim. That cost per mile is based purely on the cost of electricity and the number of miles that can be driven on said electricity. Consumables, depreciation, ancillary costs (registration, tickets, etc) don't factor in either.
I'm looking to add solar + battery to my home in the next 12 months. I live in a rural part of CA with plenty of land, so not looking to do roof mounted, put instead ground mounted. I'm also leaning towards buying outright over leasing.
Any tips, resources, suggestions, etc. you'd recommend to help my research? Is the Telsa Powerwall the best system for storage? Panels? etc. As you are in the business, appreciate your insight.
FWIW this is my power usage / bill over the past 20 months (SDG&E). I'd like to have a system that is larger than my current average use, so I can charge a Cybertruck, run my hot tub heater without stress, install an electric hot water heater, etc.
Thanks.
