Naturally, it’s perfect to consider how pairing renewable energy like solar with EV charging can have a huge impact on the future of widespread adoption of both technologies. What Is Solar EV Charging? EV charging with solar technology uses panels to convert energy from the sun into power that an EV can utilize.

One of the advantages of electric cars is that they get cleaner as the emissions associated with generating the electricity to power them decrease. And the good news for electric-car drivers is that the grids that supply their electricity have been getting cleaner--and will likely continue to do so this year and into the future.

It was one year ago that we decided to add solar panels to our roof. The main reasons were: Reduce our monthly electricity. With two Electric cars, at the time a Nissan Lean and Mitsubishi Outlander, we use a considerable amount of electricity but not much petrol, so already we were a reasonable way down the less CO2 road.
