Renewables (but solar in particular) and EV's are a marriage made in heaven.
Where I live electricity is about $0.32/kWh. But if you sign up for the EV plan, charging the EV costs $0.07/kWh. It's because of renewables. Their unreliability means they over provision. Over provisioning means were I live they drive the wholesale cost of electricity negative most days (but it skyrockets when the sun ain't shining and the wind ain't blowing).
The $.07/kWh plan charges EV's when the electricity wholesale price is negative (so you have to hand over control of the charging port to the electricity company). If you live in an area with a lot of solar, the solar duck curve means most days the price does indeed go negative.
