In Reply to: Sending almost as much to the grid today as we consuming... posted by Ivan303 on June 14, 2021 at 15:21:48:
28 kWh and nearly 17 hours for a 60% charge for $11.20. At CA electric rates, solar is a no brainer. We got 81.7 kWh yesterday, wahoo!
OTOH, my wife's Prius at 50mpg would cost about the same amount for gas and has a 400 mile range and can be fully charged in 5 minutes or less.
Solar does have issues if everyone had an EV. The sun doesn't shine at night and many places need to run AC at night, so you have a double drain and no sun. One pundit claimed that CA would need to spend $1 trillion or more for batteries to go fully renewable. Just think of the carbon footprint of all those batteries.
