With significant innovation in power generation and transmission this might be possible. Absent these innovations they will follow the path of least resistance and that will be ICE. Time will tell.
- Retric 10y agoAs solar and battery prices keep dropping the charge at home infrastructure becomes ever more appealing. Oil on the other hand already has little room to become cheaper.
- ryanmarsh 10y agoThe capex on a tin can for gasoline will always beat a solar roof and Power Wall
- Retric 10y agoNot when you can rent the solar panels for zero down. Then it's just monthly cost X vs monthly cost Y. Remember, our solar prices are based on western installation costs, 3rd world pays less for solar but does not get a discount on Oil.

- tonyedgecombe 10y agoSince when did you get your gasoline in a tin can?
- ryanmarsh 10y agoEver been to a 3rd world country?
- tonyedgecombe 10y agoThe point is if your going to start consuming petrol on a large scale you aren't going achieve that delivering it in tin cans, you need infrastructure for that as well.
- exergy 10y agoYes. Born and brought up on India. In only the most extreme case of a car breaking down miles from the pump would you ever get petrol in a can. Otherwise, the vast majority goes to the pump to refill.
