Actually, except for a few off grid hippies and survivalists, most solar or wind energy is fed into the major electric grids where it is balanced with feedstocks of coal and natural gas, and other renewables. An electric car owner can have an electric outlet in his garage or yard to plug in his electric car. Also, charging stations are beginning to appear at commercial locations. Renewables are a useful addition to power needs. Some day when oil supplies are low people will be screaming because all the useful plastics and other things produced from petroleum are in short supply and very costly.

Electricity to power that golf cart wannabe car come from where? Solar and wind are unreliable. Fuel cells have promise and the fuel is readily available.

And most will charge at night. Solar not really a factor at that point. Wind is commonly at dusk and dawn.

Do you drive an electric car? Or do you just badmouth that which you choose to use?
