| They'd also be unhappy with a solar panel that only generated power when a car was plugged in. Fortunately it would still be connected to the grid, resolving both concerns. |

| I'm not sure that's true? Your car already has the battery built right into it, so a trickle charge for eight hours while you're busy at work might be enough to cover your commute. 2 kW over 8 hours would be enough for 100 km per day. |

| Why would I be unhappy? Consider this: I drive to the mall. I plug in the slow free charger (maybe ~3500W) as opposed to the paid one at >20000W. Two hours later I have, say, about 7kWh topped up on my battery. I now have restored about 40km range, so my 30km drive to and from the mall would be entirely restored. |

| I drive to work, I park in the parking lot, 8 hours later I leave work. My car is now fully charged. I would be utterly devastated. |
