Good point on the tax on any investment returns but put the investment in a TFSA or RRSP and you're good.Except once you take 50 percent income tax off the real return is much lower.

2 million Euro construction cost??? What in the actual F.Hydrogen fail

This might be a tipping point reason for us to move to EV next car
We don't drive enough to justify but having a power source in the driveway plus all the other reasons for EV .....
aside from the negligible amount through the 12-volt power the same way as on any other car.
The flipside to that is if you want unattended transfer to standby power, the price of the generator is only a small percentage of the bill. Paying a five figure bill for install and hardware that only gives you the bare necessities doesn't make sense to me (or most other people). Add a couple grand and you can continue on with your life almost unchanged with the grid down. Hell, finding a small, electric start, natural gas generator may not save you anything from a 10kw as the demand for those is so low that not many exist.People waaaaay over estimate the wattage they need to run the essentials. We deliver a lot of the Generac backup power systems and I see people opting for 10-15kw systems when in reality in an emergency they could easily get away with a 2000w Honda and some extension cords. Yeah, you can run your stove and oven and all the luxuries with a 15kw system, but unless you're cooking Thanksgiving dinner during a major power outage, you really don't need it. Only exception would be is if you rely on electric baseboard heaters or something.

lso, I don't keep gas just for generator. Extended outage could be an issue.
You have a 30A breaker on a 50A receptacle? ESA used to allow a 40A breaker on 50A receptacle in special circumstances but not anymore. They need a 50A breaker on 50A receptacle (see bulletin I linked above). I am surprised they approved 30A breaker for you (although, in my mind, worst case scenario would be a ton of "nuisance" trips if you plugged in a 50A load).50-amp breaker can be used for a dedicated NEMA 14-50 receptacle, and that will supply up to a 40-amp EVSE on 240V. (9.6 kW) And because it's a receptacle, you're free to decide what to do with it later. If you've got electrical work coming up anyhow, you might as well get your permit once and be done with it ... pick a place for the receptacle and run the cable out to it. Then when you later get an EVSE, you can just plug it in.
Mine has a 14-50 receptacle on a 30-amp breaker and the EVSE is set to 24 amps, and that is enough for a full charge overnight for a non-pickup-truck EV. I didn't set it higher, because long ago when I drywalled the basement and ran a cable from the panel past the drywalled area "just in case", I didn't foresee connecting an EV charger to it. Still, it's enough.
Any EVSE requiring more than a 50-amp breaker+circuit (i.e. 60-amp circuit with the EVSE set to 80% = 48 amps) has to be hard-wired.
The on-board AC charger on the newer Bolts (including mine) will take 48 amps (11.2 kW) if you give it to it. The GM-supplied dual-voltage charger that the EUV comes with, is 16 amps.
I haven't run across anyone who has installed a 240V AC EVSE of higher capacity than that.
