The batteries have a 200+ mile range, which should be more than enough for a standard commute to and from work in a single day.

- toast0 12y agoIf you have net metering, let the solar panels send to the grid during the day, and charge the car from the grid at night. If you have net metering with time of use metering, the difference in energy prices for generation and use, then you're being paid to essentially use the grid to store your solar energy so you can use it at night.
