IMHO... EV's are not long distance vehicles....they are commuter vehicles. PV provides lots of peak power during the day, zero at night
It would be a good idea to promote EV charging with PV during the day. Where are commuter vehicles during the day? Probably at work. Seems that it would be common sense to promote slow EV charging at work....during the day. Don't even need to have thePV at work, as there is probably PV somewhere close anyway.
