I now drive a Toyota hybrid Prius plug in. I do use a lot less petrol these days. I have solar panels on my house roof which I use to recharge the car battery for free.That would work for me if I had my car parked at home during the day, unfortunately solar makes power during the time no one is home at my place |

I seem to have accidentally gone all green. I Like gadgets and mine have combined to cut down on petrol use but that's not why I bought them. I have an E-bike I ride to work, a battery powered lawn mower, a bunch of cordless tools and cordless garden tools, and a pair of 200W solar panels I charge it all with. None of it has been charged off the mains or used any petrol in over 2 years now :) It's an expensive option though. Consequently my car sits in the garage for 5 or 6 days most weeks and has done only 6000-7000 km since I bought it Xmas before last. |

It works for me because I work a split shift meaning that I am home between noon and 3 pm on work days. I only work three days a week. Your car can be charged overnight when power is cheaper using a timer. |

I would like to switch to an e car but currently they still cost more than I can afford and the payloads are to small to cart all my tools around. Our new house I have just started building (foundations next week if the weather improves here) will have solar and water collection from the roof. We are planting trees as fast as we can source them close to 200 now so far. Money is very tight on this project so some things will have to wait to be implemented but the bones will be in place ready. |
