For general US construction, there are single-source cost-plus service contracts. Which incentivizes construction to do only the necessary and charge the max possible for it. In contrast, a concrete milestone service contract with re-bid se

I spoke to a Freedom Solar rep in the US and they shared solar install costs were going down and now they can be as expensive as your current bill (bill swap). Bummer, what should be a continued downtrend cost curve is going up due to insta

The 2014 RAV4 EV MSRP'd at $49800 before government incentives. They had 100 mile range, Tesla powertrains, but no DC charging. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_RAV4_EV Crazy to think what PHEVs goes for now.

It doesn't help that corporations buy all these houses up at full price and well above listing just so they can use it as rental income.

I simply can't understand the reasoning other than a cash grab. OEMs, like Toyota, are really showing their true colors to the consumer. They don't care about you.

The video looked like a fancy PR piece and that's it. Sad that this tech has been shelved for 31 years. Maybe there isn't a viable go to market strategy.
