I recently read a similar article and had a similar reaction.  That being that 
people who are willing to invest in an EV at this point are also more likely to 
invest in renewables.  Count me as a yes.  I installed 26 305 watt solar panels 
last summer and smile every time the sun is out and I plug my car in 🙂  It 
tickles me to no end knowing that the energy is literally flowing from my 
rooftop directly into my EV.  I have the same reaction with my corded electric 
lawn mower.

Electric Car Subsidies Aren't All They're Cracked Up to Be
April 19, 2019 ... The EV tax credit, which has been around since 2008,
offers consumers a subsidy of up to $7,500 off the price of a qualifying EV
...

A Straw Poll:
How many of you EVangelists charge your cars using renewable power?  The 
article above sited a study that electric cars will not help the environment I 
am assuming because they assume EVs are being charged from power from the power 
company (which in my area means coal fired power plants).  I do agree with the 
premise that the EV subsidy helps wealthier people more than poor folks, since 
if you can afford a brand new Tesla, you have some cash.  But that study sited 
is very suspect.  Most of the people I know around here that have EVs also have 
at least some solar.  While a few have more solar than they can ever hope to 
use themselves (Mark Hanson: take a bow).
So I am just curious. What say you?
