There are many other factors. How much do you drive? What is the payback time for the
"free" solar power to offset fuel costs of your current vehicle? What is the
opportunity cost (what else could you do with the money other than buy an EV)? What are
the differences in registration and insurance and financing (if any) costs?
Basically you have to look at total cost of ownership of the solar array, EV
charging apparatus, and the EV itself compared to the total cost of ownership
of the vehicle the EV is replacing.
I have always wondered how the panels get attached to your roof without
damaging the roof and how much more it will cost when you need to
replace the roof and the panels have to be removed and re-installed. I
guess if you are old enough, it will be someone else's problem. A roof
should last 25 years. Maybe the panels won't last that long.
