I'm in France, if that matter, small in my case mean 5kW, but that's not the reason, the reasons are: - I already have ICEs cars (two actually) 4x4 and living in the Alps where a 4x4 in winter is very comfy - at actual rates, and re-sale values (witch is practically zero for EVs here) amortize the price of available 4x4 EVs is simply fantasy - at my actual car usage (not that much WFH and doung far less trips than before) amortize the price of available 4x4 EVs is simply fantasy Essentially my ICEs cars work flawlessly and STILL have a re-sale value, a new EVs, a little one, little in price terms, but not so little to be unusable here, perhaps can be paid back in the near future, still not now, surely not a model X or a Volvo. My math simply do not count just energy prices, especially since now/so far I travel not enough, but the TCO. With my small p.v. I can power my house "A-class" i.e. new, insulated very well etc, for almost all loads, water heater system is a big enough cumulus that does not need energy at night, heat-pump (just ~1kW) and classic resistance, so if the Sun shine I can go for resistance or resistance+heat pump, if not but still there is a bit of Sun the heat pump only. It's driven by the inverter so regulate itself depending on current home micro-grid load. Cooking does not demand so much, washing machine, dishwasher etc can normally both run 100% on self-consumption when the Sun shine. Looking back, now, I would made an 8kW p.v. I have enough space for it, but back than just few years ago I do not think that was needed...
