On today’s independent episode of Quick Charge, we take a look at refining and distributing our own fuel supply with home solar as America’s war in Iran rages on, shooting gas prices (and EV sales) into the stratosphere. As diesel prices cross $8/gal. in parts of California, more and more Americans are shopping for EVs and hybrids, and that’s driving record sales of electrified vehicles for brands like Toyota and Hyundai. It’s also brought the ability to generate your own “electric fuel” with a home solar panel system back into the limelight, whether you qualify for a tax credit or not!
