PV-EV synergy of solar power and plug-capable electric cars that free us from oil dependence
Typical summer California electric usage

Solar photo-voltaic (PV) systems generate energy in the daytime to lower peak demand, reducing the need for expensive, dirty "peaker" generators. Electric credits from the PV system can be used to pay for night-time charging of the Electric car, allowing people to avoid gas stations and drive essentially cost-free as well as oil-free.

Full-function 80 mph plug-capable Electric Vehicles can be charged each night with at least 80,000 mwh (80,000,000 kwh) of electric capacity unused because demand falls and generators must be ramped down. This power carries the EVs 320,000,000 miles (at 4 miles per kwh) replacing 16,000,000 gallons of gasoline (20 mpg fleet avg.). This eliminates about a third of our daily gasoline consumption of 40,000,000 gallons, enough to do without overseas oil imports. This also helps amortize generators over more hours of operation, and enables people to choose to live essentially without gasoline.
