So basically you're using the National Grid as an energy storage
device.

And the FIT payment would cover my electricty bill by a factor of four.

wow

You must have a very wasteful and inefficient house.

And yours is probably less efficient than you think, bearing in mind
the above.

(Oh you said it was uninsulated and heated by electricity.)
You must be mental.

Run a car on electricity? You must be mental...

It works very well.
As you obviously don't have one, how would you know?


You don't need to own one to know that they are limited in range and
speed or that they take a long time to recharge. My car can do up to 800
miles on a full tank, can cruise the autobahn at 145mph (130mph on the
winter tyres I have on now) and can refuel in a few minutes. It would
suit the needs of a lot more people than an electric car would.
