Its not free, unless somehow your solar was paid for by someone else / gifted to you. I am a pretty big believer in solar (and home batteries too actually), but dont understand why people like to say "its free".Has anyone seen any decals (no bumper stickers please) for a solar powered Tesla? My panels just went live the other day and will now drive around forfree, on pre paid solar, mostly anyway. You just gotta rub the ICE owners' noses in it when gas is over $4/gallon.
Two things. First off, the solar does pay for itself in a short period of time after which it is free. Second, the marginal cost of powering the vehicle vs. powering everything else with my install is miniscule. It was going to be installed anyway, so the car charging is icing on the cake. Is it truly free? Maybe not, but compared to the price of a gallon of gas it may as well be, and I did say "mostly". I'll mention too that the evaluation of my roof's positioning gave it a 96% efficiency rating on a 120 year old house!Its not free, unless somehow your solar was paid for by someone else / gifted to you.

Energy from the sun is free, but harnessing that energy so that you can drive your car on it cost you a decent sum of money. It wont be "free" until the amount you paid for the solar is exceeded by the amount you would have paid for powering your home, and driving your car.
I personally dont find this much different than the people who drive ICE vehicles trying to intimate that every trip they make in the car is a 1000 mile road trip, as an example of why "EVs will never work for me". To me, saying this is free is very similar to that.
It isn't like I'm giving them the finger. Just proud of what I have. And it is indirectly solar powered, charged by my panels during the day.Let’s not rub people’s noses in gas prices or pretend our cars are ”solar” powered. There is enough EV ignorance and die hard ICE car owners out there. Let’s take the high road in sharing the pluses and limitations of EV ownership. EVs are still best for early adopters, the rest will follow in due time.

Sure but it should be compared to other investments, assuming you aren't trying to save the world or worry about grid instability.5 years is a fairly short period of time, as far as that goes. Its also a short period of time as it pertains to home ownership, that is, if you plan on staying in your home
Yep.And if a car is powered from a hydro plant is it water powered? What about from a Nuke plant, Nuclear powered?
He is trying to save the World, though.Sure but it should be compared to other investments, assuming you aren't trying to save the world or worry about grid instability.
There are other reasons to do it than just break even point.Really? What's your ROI? Please show math. I live in Arizona and it's at least 5 years to break even
