You mean the solar panels on top of my house?[/quote]

Do you have a battery to store solar energy?

Which state are you in? [/quote]

The truck IS the battery, if you plug it in during the day. [/quote]

You store the power from your house solar panels in your truck battery? [/quote]

The truck has a huge battery. (Or, in my case, my car.) If you're charging it when your solar panels are producing more electricity than your house is consuming, you're storing the excess in the truck. Some EVs, including the Ford F-150 and the new Kias, can also send power back from the vehicle to your house. So that's basically like having a mobile battery. But the concept is the same, either way -- instead of sending excess electricity back into the grid, you're putting it in the battery you use to drive.[/quote]

Which state are you in?

There are restrictions on grid vs battery. 
[/quote]

D.C. No idea what you're talking about on restrictions -- there are no restrictions here that would affect whether I charge my car or send power back into the grid. Charging my car is, again, just storing excess power in the battery. My EV isn't able to send power back to the house, though.[/quote]
