habe gerade ein paar EVTV Blog posts gelesen,
das zeug ist ja echt spannend ...
begeistert hat mich dieser Blogeintrag http://blog.evtv.me/2012/06/a-little-bi ... s-meeting/
Macht echt Sinn ... ich habe gerade das gleiche Gefühl wie als ich 2008 das BetterPlace Modell verstanden hatte ... sehr großes Potential .... bin gespannt was Musk daraus macht ...... what it might take to put a fast charge station every 40 miles on all 47,300 miles of U.S. interstate and came up with a figure of $59 million at $50K per station. I found this an epiphany for me personally.
....
California has 8600 miles of “primary” highway out of their 16,800 miles of roads. If you put one every 100 miles, and sprinkled a handful in San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles, and San Diego, you could probably come up with about 100 charge stations. They would be a little more expensive with solar and batteries. But at a half a million apiece, that would be $50 million and at $1 million apiece that would be $100 million. And that’s not necessarily money down a hole like free public charging stations. Let’s say it was $20 to “fillup.” I’d pay it. Say the average fillup was 60kWh. In California that’s about $18 worth of electricity anyway from the grid. So paying a flat fee of $20 isn’t’ even an inconvenience.
Good work if you can get it. You’re selling sunshine for 30 cents a kilowatt-hour. If 20,000 cars fill up twice a week, we are looking at $38.5 million a year income from an initial investment of $100 million. Each station has to charge 57 cars per day at that 60 kWh. That’s 3420 kWh from 4.5 hours of sunshine or a 760 kW array. That’s pretty big frankly. I don’t know you can do that with batteries for $1 million. But with 38.5 million per year and a more realistic 10 year cap rate, we probably can for $3.85 million per station.
This can scale anywhere you want it to. If Musk just did it in California, and with Solar City’s ability to purchase large amounts of solar panels, their costs have to be down around 85 cents per kWh, would this business model catch on nationally? I wouldn’t’ actually mind some of that action.
