We need people to charge their EV's when the sun is shining. At least in California. But perhaps not Scotland and Germany. Given Californians drive 340 billion miles a year at 3.5 kwh per mile and 2200 hours of sunlight a year. I get you'd need 45 GW of solar to power them. California has something like 16-20 GW. Notable at 35mpg cars use 10 billion gallons of gas. At $4 gallon. $40 billion a year. Solar to power cars would pay for itself economically in a couple of a years.
