Solar panels will pay for themselves in 5-10 years, and that includes the electricity you use in your EV.

So far, our electricity is costing us less than half of what it used to, and that means about 2¢ / mile for our 2 EV's. If we insulate the house, that cuts the electricity we use, and then we could pay nothing for the EV's.
