NOTE: This is a front end edit.
This thread seems to have sprawled out a whole bunch of connected (Electrical Pun intended) issues relating to the "start on" article, which BTW is great to see.
I think when it comes to RE as well as allot of major issues today, there are separate but connected logics and concerns that permeate the entire cluster. You have the "raw" engineering possibles with its new opportunities, being incorporated into and balancing with existing best practices and standards.
The personal desires and social objectives that range from environmental consciousness, equity and just doing the right thing, independent of any particular social "sect" or hierarchy.
Bridging across those two "platforms" are the, for lack of a better phrase, the political objectives that really always come down to two elements, power (non electron kind) and or adoption rate and percentages (Population oriented).
Specifically in the case of RE, adoption rate and percentage is huge by itself, if for no other reason than
Nature could give a S**T about any of man's other concerns. Change and you get to live. Don't change and die. Most would agree that the choice is pretty clean cut and simple, at least on the understanding end.
As to the barriers blocking, mucking up and diverting our course and velocity in this pursuit, I will refrain at this time indulging in such (Ah, a sigh of relief).
To summarize I guess, it probably goes to everyone's better sanity if we can differentiate the specific goal, solutions and capabilities for enabling these adoptions and changes to bring greater clarity and understanding to the 'where we are' and the 'where we want to get to' objectives and time line.

End edit:
Now original post content:I recently wrote an article:
https://fcfcfcwearesolar.blogspot.com/2022/11/reality-ev.htmlIt is a personal charging experience I recently had. EV and solar go hand in hand, one being clean production, the other clean load. They are not Siamese twins yet, but more and more so, as it should be. I often wonder aside from the "industry" extruded, and sterilized articles for mainstream consumption about RE and EV, what the real world is for people charging their EV's under god knows what conditions. This was one such experience wrapped in a cool evening's entertainment up North from me.
Would like to know if any of you have had such occasions, FACTUALY based, that you would not mind sharing, to get a better handle on the actual real world reality of this important clean energy use.
PS: Happy Turkey day!!!
