Is there any way we can specify that our solar panels can directly or indirectly charge our electric vehicle?

If you have a system capable of islanding, you can put that electricity anywhere you want it!Don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player. I DON'T work for or on behalf of EON.Next, but am willing to try and help if I can. Not on mains gas, mobile network or mains drainage. House heated almost entirely by baby dragons. -

Level 2328-11-22The usual home charger for a Nissan is >3kW.
The usual home charger for a Tesla is >6kW.
There are 22kW chargers going up at my supermarket.
From 2kW(peak) solar panels on my roof, over the past month ( 26th October to 27th November 2022 ) total solar generation has been 85.5 kWh; about one full battery of a Tesla or two full batteries of a Leaf. I size my vehicle to be inside my solar surplus capacity and I did recharge it for free on Saturday, having gone 25 miles at 15 mph on Friday in green Oxfordshire countryside.
I use a motor assisted pedal cycle. -
Community Team17-12-23@Tagtiv8 Hey
Appreciate this post was a while ago, I know there was talk of solar specifically to charge an EV.
Your standard solar system is probably not wired to do such however we would always recommend you contact an MCS accredited installer when it comes to types of technology, especially this type.
Did you find out any further information on this?Pop me a tag or private message for any solar or Affordability & Vulnerability questions! Need our customer service teams? Click here! 📣 for ways to contact us
