“It’s what powers “electric” vehicles”
I leased a Tesla model S for a year
. My solar panels make 100+ kWh per say I have 15,000 watts worth on trackers and another 10,000 on the guesthouse in the back. Even in January I have a net export of power to the ERCOT grid. My Tesla was for that year fully charged in the regular from those same panels. For $18,000 I can put 12,000 watts worth of panels up on a roofline and power a 2000 sqft house and easily cover 14,000 miles per year in an EV. A model S will go 4 miles on one kWh. The avg American drives less than 40 miles per day with most of those individual trips under 6 miles. Why because more Americans live in cities with high density only a few live in the sticks with the rednecks. 40 miles or less per day is 10kWh of energy or less per day. Two commercial sized 450 watt panels will make that in a sunny Texas day with some to spare. Those panels are 8”*4” two of them for on the roof of an average two car garage with room for 4 of them actually so both cars can be powered by the sun. Welcome to the 21st century boomers.

Here is the trip distances by percentages of.total trips. Official reviewed and verified data at that.

In the meantime, much of the rest of the country, will have their mandatory solar panels covered by snow for several months during the winter, unable to drive anywhere and freeze to death in their homes.
