Really? What charges it at night? [/quote]

On average, our solar panels generate enough energy per day to charge our EV.

Possibly, assuming you’re only using 10-15% of capacity for short trips each day.

A typical roof-size fixed PV array will provide about 2-2.5kw/hr. With ~6 hours at full capacity and another 3 hours at reduced capacity  (in summer only) that’s a total of about 18-20kw useable output each day. You’d need 5-6 days of output from a typical roof-size PV array to fully charge a 100kw EV battery on a Tesla S.

But if you’re suggesting you can charge up from empty to full on your home’s PV array in less than a day, then you’re either a liar, or you have a PV array the size of a basketball court. Because that’s the only way that’s happening.

We average ~12kw/day across the year. Charge once a week from ~20% to ~90%. 7 mile commute x 3 days/wk plus events/errands/activities.

Solar covers our daily driving.
