Solar + EV Charging Calculator

See how much of your EV’s energy home solar could cover and what it saves.

Charging an EV from solar

An average EV driver needs around 2,000–3,000 kWh a year. Solar can cover a large share of that, but only the part you actually consume when the sun is shining or store in a battery. The “share that goes to the EV” field represents that overlap.

Costs and yields differ by region, so check local installer quotes.

Frequently asked questions

Can I charge directly from the sun?
Yes, with a solar-aware charger or smart charging schedule your EV can soak up surplus daytime production instead of exporting it.
