Home financing ever possible? Probably not!

But to stick with the miserable car comparisons and sustainability. Often completely different vehicle classes are compared. I don't need to compare an e-tron with a 3 Series BMW or Golf.

I have been driving an e-Golf for 21,538 km and also once had a Seat Leon with the 1.4 TSI ACT over 43,121 km - so very comparable and averaged over several seasons in my opinion.

e-Golf: 17.44 kWh/100km
Seat: 6.18 l gasoline/100km

CO2 e-Golf averaged 2022 (Electricity Maps): 494g/kWh = 8.6 kg CO2 per 100km
CO2 Seat averaged: 2.37 kg/l gasoline (Helmholtz) = 14.6 kg CO2 per 100km

A standard driver with 15,000 km would thus save 900 kg CO2 per year with the e-Golf - that already corresponds to 5-10% of the German "normal emissions".

And if I set fire to a ton of gasoline to keep warm? What would my CO2 balance be then?
Can you calculate that for me?

Besides... 7.6 l diesel per 100 km? Are you somehow proud of that? Sounds... sad.

Wow. Thumbs up. Great! I'm impressed. Really. That's how discussion works.

My Golf Variant consumes less than 5 liters of diesel. Then I would be very close to the CO exchange of a comparable electric car?

In recent years, several large areas have been covered with photovoltaic panels. And when I see the areas on the halls and barns, I think my roof area is ridiculous for that. Basically, you would have to finish the possible large areas first and then the residential houses. And especially along the highway or federal roads, such areas would be ideal.

My Golf Variant consumes under 5 liters of diesel. So I would be very close to the CO exchange of a comparable electric car?

Yes. In 2022, you can say that. Although I am not aware of any relevant electric station wagons - so the comparison already breaks down there. From a perspective point, the diesel Golf should always get worse due to the expansion of renewable energies. At the moment, it's really a bad time for general statements because there are no constants.

How well France produces nuclear power and even exports it was shown last summer when half of all reactors had to be taken offline due to overheating risk. By the way, about a quarter of the reactors there were also offline in winter because of maintenance work.

We have enough unused roof and facade surfaces on which we can install photovoltaics. Facades would have the advantage over roofs that the angle of incidence would be optimized for winter.

In combination with wind, water, and biomass, that will be enough.

Only that for the foreseeable future, we have neither the necessary hardware nor the necessary craftsmen to install it.

Ideally, environmental protection is fun and also saves money. My own photovoltaic system combined with my eCar brings me joy every day. I am also impressed that from March to November one is completely self-sufficient without buying electricity. I wouldn't have thought that.

I am open to many things, but so far no one has been able to explain to me how we cover the electricity demand in winter without coal, gas, and nuclear. Can anyone here?

That's simple, Robert does it, for example, with coal power....
