You can make your own electricity at home if you have the room, by installing solar panels.

IMO everyone should invest in off-grid solar if you can manage it. I have electricity on tap no matter what the power company or their wires are doing.

Or if gas is actually cheaper than electricity, just install a trailer hitch and a hitch cargo carrier, then mount an inverter generator on your cargo carrier and charge the EV on the go with gas.

I can’t wait to get solar. Personally I don’t have the cash on hand to pay the $40K quote I got for a 16kW system, and I’m not comfortable taking out that big of a loan with the economy being such a huge question mark, but in a year or two I’m really looking forward to it

Just get yourself self-smarted on the learnins you need to DIY the solar install. 40k would buy an enormous shit-ton of solar power components, way more than you need. Mine was under 10k
