I’ve known folks who have bought an electric car and charger. And they then have to buy a Generac because the electric supply is unreliable. Talked to another guy in the EU that put solar on his roof (he has a plug in hybrid) - he said the solar wouldn’t pay for itself in his lifetime.
Electric cars can work for people that can afford another
This guy verified everything I suspected about solar panels.

No solar...won’t pay for itself if you think about it in a business sort of way. It never will...not even conventional back up generators powered by natural gas or propane or diesel.
However there is an intrinsic value to having such back up power when the mains have gone down and will be down for a while. And in some severe crises, the value of such back-up systems are priceless.
