It also costs a lot less to charge an EV than it does to buy gas or diesel, and if you consider powering your EV with a home solar installation, you can even bring the costs down further — you can use Solar - Estimate's tools to learn more about that and work out the rates of return you would get from installing solar panels given your electricity usage and location.

for a start the infrastructure required to supply our electricity would be far far less compared to when power is sent long distances from where it is produced, there are also quite substantial losses just getting the power to those living several hundred kilometers away, for instance I am told that they lose around 14 % of the power produced in the Latrobe Valley just getting it to Melbourne, Solar on the other hand is often far closer to where the power is required, therefore there are less distribution costs and also less losses involved.
