About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of the US war in Iran on gas prices and the rising interest in home solar energy as a solution for fuel supply.
On today's independent episode of Quick Charge , we take a look at refining and distributing our own fuel supply with home solar as America's war in Iran rages on, shooting gas prices (and EV sales) into the stratosphere. As diesel prices cross $8/gal. in parts of California, more and more Americans are shopping for EVs and hybrids, and that's driving record sales of electrified vehicles for brands like Toyota and Hyundai.
