Of course not.

Just as EVs aren't suitable for everybody, either.

But exceptions, even if numerous, don't invalidate the usage for huge swaths of 
the population.

Obviously, if you live in a 20-story apartment complex in Manhattan that's in 
year-round constant shade from the surrounding 50-story office buildings, 
you're not going to be any kind of a solar producer. Similarly, if you're 
trying to make it through the winter at McMurdo Base.

But the overwhelming majority of residents in the Sun Belt have far more 
rooftop area than they need. If your state borders a state that borders Mexico 
or the Gulf, it's extremely likely (but, of course, not guaranteed) that all 
you need to go off the grid is a capital investment.

Again, it's a similar story for EVs. The list of people who shouldn't even be 
thinking of buying an EV is practically endless. But that still doesn't change 
the fact that the majority of commuters would be better off driving an EV.

Cheers,
