    I was thinking about using the credit to get an electric van and some solar panels, and start living semi-off grid.

    That's the fantasy, at least. If I wasn't completely broke.

      If an electric van or pickup with good range debuts, I'll buy that and never need another vehicle. The new ford line of electric trucks allows you to use them as a generator which would be extremely useful for me. They're just so limited in range that I'd be nervous to go into the mountains with one.

        The Ford e-transit van was what I was looking at. I'm not much of an outdoorsman, so finding myself stranded in the mountains wasn't a huge concern.

        Ideally, I'd like to run a little electric-powered kitchen, induction stovetop, etc. If the battery were large enough for me to get away for a weekend and take my telescope out to some national parks, I'd be content with that.
