Solar panels (which continue get cheaper every year) on my house makes charging my low-TCO EV free in 5 years

Until you start getting taxed.

  • How do you figure that works?

    • Solar panels added to a grid is not plug and play.

      When you're connecting solar to a municipal grid (which is what most homes are connected to), it could theoretically be taxed or even subjected to a tariff. The "added" power (often excess) is monitored for billing credits/payout/other, among other reasons like grid integrity.
