Now I know what you are thinking; Well I have an EV too! What do you think powers the lights?. Common misconception. You see, while traditional vehicles do use electricity in them, their primary source of fuel for propulsion is gasoline, some of which is turned into electricity through an alternator. An EV (Electric Vehicle) however uses no gasoline and it's primary source of fuel is electricity.

My solar array produces more energy than my home uses per hour, even with charging my car and having both ovens running on convection. I hope that answers your question. Now maybe I can ask you one? How long does an average trip to the gas station take? Assuming it’s on the way and not that you’re driving around looking for one. Because I spend about 3 seconds plugging my car in and 3 seconds unplugging it.

Easy fix....add a second charger if needed. BUT, most people with two EVs can easily manage their charging to take into account two vehicles with only one charger, especially if they space them out over the week.

I only have 1 EV right now, so I have one L2 charger "installed". (We put in a 240 outlet and have our portable charger mounted next to it)) Our other car is an Explorer, its paid off and has only about 45k miles on it, so we are keeping it for a while. But when we go to replace it we will likely go electric. By then I'm hoping the charging standard is settled and look into the options available. It would not shock me if more charging solutions have two charging ports by then (there are some available today but none I trust) but if not, it's fairly easy to run wire the wire and hook up a second 240v outlet.

EVs are far better for the environment than ICE. Hybrids though are still overall better when looking at the full picture.
