My electric coop offers both a solar and wind options.
The solar plan is offered in 200-kWh blocks, which exceeds my monthly use,so I went with the wind option,at a penny more per kWh (13-cents),which has no minimums.
After DARKO,next year,I'll be able to see where I'm at,with respect to a used entry level EV. 20-miles range is more than I need,and with the house already (theoretically) carbon free,the car will also be.
