As part of the overhaul, the rugged SUV brand is returning to the small UV segment in North America. Jeep will add a new model every year over the next three years to build a 13-vehicle lineup. Mahalak owns six dealerships in Ohio, Michigan, and Florida. However, it can’t go too cheap, or Jeep could hurt the brand.

Well, not really cheated, but I just went with a retail solar generator system instead of DIYing that part myself from à la carte components. I used pressure-treated 2x4s to build a pair of mounts for the solar panels, each of which would hold three 200W panels. To be fair, I cheated a bit.

What excites me is the idea of cheap and accessible hardware! Interest in building such systems is welcome because Tesla and Elon Musk’s involvement in the problem brings attention, talent, and resources to the problem, setting in motion a flywheel of progress.

Although it is not practical to fully harden an electronic device against a direct lightning strike with peak amplitudes in the 100s of megavolts and kiloamperes range, the chances of such happening are also vanishingly remote, fortunately (even here in Florida). Closer proximity experiences worsening transient/surge conditions.

Cheap to run but expensive to buy, they offer theprospect of low or zero carbon emissions, but manufacturers won’t sell themunless motorists want to buy them – and motorists won’t buy unless the priceis right and there are enough places to charge the batteries. These both cost much less than lithium cells.

And all that available cheap solar electricity is what’s going to drive the sales explosion of electric and plug-in vehicles in California just as they’re becoming available over the next three years. That equation is going to drive solar installations across the board on every roof in the state.
