New Homes with Juice on Queen Anne Hill
According to a recent report by Pike Research by 2015 automakers worldwide are expecting to sell more than 3 million electric vehicles. Forward thinking builder Martha Rose, president of Martha Rose Construction, is making it easy for home buyers to have an electric vehicle by pre-wiring their new City Cabin homes for Electric-Vehicle (EV) charging stations.
Going a bit further Rose has installed a 2KW photo-voltaic system on one of the two homes, the other is pre-wired for solar and an EV station, the solar array will produce enough electricity to power an electric vehicle between 7,000-10,000 miles a year depending on the make of the vehicle.
This trend is something that designers and builders are starting to look at across the country; Monday KB Home announced that it will build all its homes under the Build San Antonio Green program starting in December. KB Home is one of the largest homebuilders in the country.
