I don't think that's what he meant. I may be wrong, but I think that what he's getting at is that the energy your PV system generates during the day (but you can't use then) goes into the grid, and powers someone else's load at that time. That represents fuel that the power plant doesn't have to burn until later that night, when YOU plug in to charge your EV.
