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.

What’s your plan for dealing with the toxic metals from the solar panels when they’ve lost efficiency and need to be replaced? Will you spend the money to ensure they’re processed as haz-mat, and rendered safe? Or will you just make it someone else’s problem? [/quote]

LOL. Digging deep to try to trash my EV & solar panels, huh?

I take care of toxic materials now and I’m sure I will take care of them properly when necessary in 30+ years.
