It depends on how much you drive. My power is ~$0.15 per kWh. A Chevy Equinox EV has a 86 kWh battery, and can go ~300 miles with it. Math tells me I can fill it up for $13, which is less than the seasonal variation on my power bill. Gas here is ~$3 per gallon, so the 10ish gallons it would take...

There is. I use it in my EquinoxEV, and with an account, pocket casts syncs progress between my phone and the car. It's slicker than I imagined!

While true, they've since settled with DirectTV. Dish and Comcast still do not carry the channel.

There is a limit. At its heart weather prediction models are applied linear algebra at a massive scale, so the communication latency between nodes is actually a key contributor to performance. Cloud computing is great at many things, but low-latency internode communication isn't one of them.
