There is a deep issue with p.v. + e.v.: while in many places in the world (i.e. those with a continental climate) a/c+p.v. is a perfect match because at night there is far less needs of A/C or no need at all while the most needed timeframe is during the day e.v. are the exact opposite: we normally live, and so move/drive, during the day while sleeping at night at home.
As a result with p.v. you can eliminate much of the A/C consumption in many places. You hardly reduce EV charging consumption though. EVs can be recharged from p.v. almost only for teleworkers and retirees, who tend also to be those who discharge them less, simply because they move less.
