An average EV driver uses roughly 3,000–4,000 kWh a year for charging. Adding a few extra panels to your system can cover most of that.
Pick the right charger
A Level 2 charger on a 40–60 A circuit adds 25–40 miles of range per hour. Smart chargers can follow your solar production or wait for cheaper overnight rates.
