    Are Air Compressors still necessary?

    You don't use compressed air for cleaning? In the past week I've used my compressor to clean/blow off my lawn mower, chain saw, floor vacuum, and under the hood of my F150 before swapping the plugs and air cleaner. Sure, I could use a leaf blower, but they have a tiny fraction of the power.

    New fast EV chargers and three phase power

    OP, don't over think it. Plug that EV into a Diesel (tier 0) 3-phase generator. Problem solved and no pesky gov. red tape. If you're an overachiever go for a lignite generator.

    Priced out of attached Garage...massive breezeway to Detached?

    Every few years I find myself needing to use a pipe on a (HF) wrench or more rarely hitting it with a sledge to remove a tough fastener. Being a nice guy if someone wants me to test their ratcheting wrenches with my sledge hammer I would do that for you.

    Vfd recommendation for air compressor

    6 gauge might be required for a large welder, but not a table saw. Even a 240v 5hp motor is only about 22 amps.

    Moving vehicles and utility trailer about property - how best?

    Keeping broke cars and trailers on your grass sounds like a self-inflected pain in the ****. You don't have room for a gravel parking lot I take it. A lawn tractor or riding mower will have trouble moving a vehicle unless the conditions are ideal. Damp grass, holes and bumps, or up hill and...

    There are 12 ga welder extension cords all over Amazon if that's what you want. I looked into making my own and discovered it would cost more than just buying a pre-made that's ready to work.

    100%. My neighbor pulled out a nasty looking weed growing up and down our private road, took it to the county weed shop, and asked "what the hell is this ****?". He came back with a huge loaner tow-behind sprayer full of free herbicide.
