US EV Charging Station Map
• I.H.S is expecting EV charging
stations to reach 1.1 million
units globally although most
of the installed based is for
domestic charging
• Public charging-station
operators will struggle to
make a profit as there are not
enough grid dependent
vehicles on the road

Assumptions:
40 miles per day x 5 days per week x 52 weeks = 10,400 miles per year
Avg EV = 4.5 miles/kWh = 2311 kWh/yr. / 260 days = 8.9 kWh/day
5 hrs. per day of good sunlight = 8.9 kWh / 5 hrs. = 1.78kW
1,780/280 W panels = 6.4 panels = 7 panels at 1,960 W
California install cost for a 1,960 W system = $4.30/wp x 1,960 = $8,428
With incentives and credits that’s an additional $5,900
Gas is $3.90 / gallon in California.
Average car gets 24 mpg for a 10,400 mile year = $1,690 annual gas cost,
assuming gas price stays fixed.
~$28k savings over 20 years.
So how much solar do I need to be net zero with my EV?
