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?
