Unplug from their grid. That'll teach 'em
They will charge you an "unplug fee"... heh

And a fuel surcharge to check your unplugged status every month... and taxes thereof... and dont forget the unplugged maintenance fee.... unused meter fee... power pole within a mile fee... pole worker tattoo fee... feeding the homeless power worker fee.

I will buy one....... when i can power it with a common DeWalt 20V battery from my cordless drill.

Until then... they are just prototypes.

I remember the cell phone suitcases... thats where they are at now :)
I'll Buy One when a Pair of Double A's run it for a Month & Prices of Double A's don't Skyrocket to $300 a Piece.
SO in other Words Oil is King !

I See no way Electric cars have a Use !
Except as overpriced Children's sidewalk Toys

We get a surcharge fee, usage fee, rural fee.
I built a shop 9 yrs ago.
Even if I didn't use any power the bill would be $80+ a month.
So when I need power I start the generator up.
Savings from not hooking to the grid $8000+.
Oh I have wanted it a few times.
But not that bad.

I was just poking fun... really i dont know about any fees related to "unplugging" from grid.

But i am 100% sure that if there is a way to place a fee on it... they will.

Amish friend runs a sawmill.
Hydro showed up to get his ID.
He told them to disconnect the line, take the meter.
They explained it would cost $5000 to reconnect.
Johnathan said: They left with just my fire number at the gate.
They're not going to be held hostage to this world.
