My only concern is that what happens with a mass adoption of both EV and intermittent power sources such as solar and wind. Solar will obviously not be there in the evening when everyone is plugging in their cars after the evening commute home.

I don't have and stats to say either way but it is a scenario that i'd like said stats for :)



The obvious solution is to put the chargers at the office. With a solar carpark roof, the power only travels a few feet in the ideal case, and you might not even need to upgrade the electrical service drop.


In addition, any power not used to charge cars can go directly to power the business, that likely uses most of their energy during work hours anyway.
