In a very theoretic world, yes. The reality is: Cars are charged mostly over night, when the sun doesn’t shine. They are at workplaces during the day, when your PV produces electricity. And if you own an EV, you don’t allow your energy provider to drain the battery for grid stability, because you don’t want to use cycles for that as it limits the lifetime of the battery. And $120 for that simply won’t cut it.
