This is silly (extremely silly), but here is what it would take to refuel your car at home.
Produce your own gasoline
This uses the smallest micro drill rig and micro refinery available but would cost between $4 and $8 million and produce 3,800 to 4,000 gallons of refined gasoline daily.
Oh, you need to have an oil deposit under your property and go through a few years of permitting before you can start.
eV Charge by Solar
Using solar to charge the car is much more feasable, though you would need more panels than this to do it quickly, however you could get a portable inverter and lay solar panels on the grass and start adding miles to the car. A sunny day can add 80 miles to the car battery.
The contrast of getting fuel for a gasoline vehicle versus an eV is startling.
It is nearly inconceivable that we are still digging up fossil fuels, setting them on fire to drive pistons that move our vehicles forward in 2026. This is only one step away from steam engines of the past.
This is the same for mowers, weed eaters, blowers, chainsaws. For the chainsaw: mixing two different fuels, performing a 4-step starting process, physically turning over a mechanical engine (pull cord) and waiting for it to warm up before going to work is unreal compared to click the battery in and press the trigger. The Tool sits off and instantly comes on when you need it. No emissions and very little servicing.
We are mostly driven by our history and culture that tell us how things are done. When do we move our thinking to “things were done differently”
