I don't know what I'd do if I was a resident in Amsterdam. They get virtually no peak solar hours in the winter months for someone to set up decentralized solar. An EV and solar work well in my climate for decentralized solar to provide 80% of all the power we consume annually, including charging the EV to drive 18K miles per year (home charged miles alone, not counting trip miles charged away from home on the trips we choose to take the EV). But I live in Alabama, not the Netherlands. EV's and solar seem like a bad combo in the Netherlands, like putting "skinny" and "Stacey Abrams" in the same sentence.

From the article link I posted above:

“Officials are responding to the issue in the Netherlands, as usual, by tinkering around the edges—for example, by asking consumers to charge their electric bikes and cars outside of peak times.”
