Hybrids Vs PHEVs vs All Electric

Geez Boomer I gave you the references I used. @dave sss (welcome back Dave) has just explained the differences between flash point and auto-ignition for you; his figures agree with those in the references I quoted and also the one you quoted.

I don't know where you live but here in 19th century WA we're only allowed a 5kW inverter and 6.6kW of panels in a grid-tied system unless we have a battery to absorb the extra (an EV battery would be great, but not many models have decent V2L capability). In June, one kW of solar panels here produces an AVERAGE of 3.0kWh per day according to PV Watts (my 10 years of data indicates 2.6kW/day, but then it is an older system) hence the 2.7kW AVERAGE that I used to charge an EV. I'm not hung up on 2.7kW, it's just a big proportion of what I'm allowed to put up there, and I might have better things to do with it, especially in June.

As far as your other points go, only the EVs that ignite are included in the EV statistics. The one that burnt at Sydney Airport last year took 4 ICEs with it and I'm guessing that if the parking station had been full of EVs they wouldn't have saved many. Two shiploads of cars have been destroyed in as many years by suspected EV fires; they wouldn't have been caused by overcharging or collisions.

In a stockmarket forum DYOR is well understood. I've done mine and am unconvinced as yet; I don't expect everyone here to agree with me.

I think you will find that there will be lots of people who agree with you.
And who probably think covid was a hoax , and climate is just weather.

Try doing the research on a 6.6kw array , with a 5 inverter , on Perth latitude .
Or ,heaven forbid you do research on something other than single phase.

"Hi Dave - If you are recharging your Tesla for free from your rooftop solar,
are you
Leaving the car at home most of the day?
Not driving it very far or very often?
Living in a warehouse with a solar roof."

This was the quote which started this conversation.
All we have had to back up this ,is barely relevant links which either you didn't read or understand.
And of course your unfounded worries and concerns.

If you think the figures you quote for winter solar power in Perth are credible, god help us.
On your '' concerns'' , read phobias , these do not constitute evidence.
And just to lay one piece of ''maybe ''evidence " out there to rest, the fire on the Freo Gateway off Holland , was not caused by the ev's on board.
Not maybe was, or wasn't .
Just wasn't.

But so irritating when people either misrepresent or misunderstand the basics, and you suddenly realise that they are never going to get it , because deep down , they dont want to. And you are never going to get back the time spent interacting with them.
Goodbye quokka.
