The greenest way to charge cars is with solar power.
The sun shines during the daytime.

When it's not raining, or just overcast, or snowing...which is a good half of the year....

And charging at a very slow rate.

“a good half of the year”

And the typical commute will be about a good tenth of a typical vehicle’s ~300 mile range.

Ringy, dingy!

Hey buddy, it’s going to cloudy all day Wednesday and Thursday, plug me in today or tomorrow or you might have less than 50 miles of range Thursday afternoon based on your typical driving patterns, Tess!

Electric rates are cheaper today, buddy!

The high wind and snow arrived in early December. Another 3 inches of fresh snow fell last night. The yard has been perpetually white with snow since about Dec 8th. Solar? Not great at N43. It was viable in San Diego at N32. The cold weather really cuts into battery efficiency and extra load from having to run the heater to offset the exterior temperatures (-20F to +40F) during the Winter doesn't help even a hybrid to perform well.
