I think this should happen especially in rural areas where longer distances are involved ...

It was extremely easy to put this link up - I was surprised...
I still need to find a way of uploading a photo because I kept on getting an error message...
I enjoy investigating new technology advances on steemit... thanks

There is talk in California of requiring solar panels on all new homes

That would be even better in my mind @steven-patrick. Around here, it would be great if local transport was a bit better so we didn't rely so much on driving cars ...

Yes I knew you were going a different direction with your post. In California, its more about increasing alternative energy supply. There have been some entrepreneurs trying to set up a network of "gas stations" where you could swap out your batteries in your electric car. That would allow longer trips and solve the problem of waiting for car to charge during the trip.

In that case the battery size would have to be the same for all passing cars @steven-patrick but trying to deal with the waiting time is a positive step 😊
If all houses are supposed to have solar panel is the power generated for the grid or for the household?

I think house then grid. Utility has to buy excess solar power.

The only problem with it I see if that just as they're building homes with electric points another alternative type car might become more popular.

They might perfect the hydrogen one for instance.

I suppose it depends on how much extra cost is involved. 😊

Very true @gillianpearce. I find that car technology doesn't advance very fast anyway... I would have put solar panels on car rooves ages ago ...
