    A Trina 415W solar panel is almost exactly 2 square meters (1.762 x 1.164) and you need to allow a bit of space for maintenance.

    If the number of EVs and the number of "out of service" charging stations around here is anything to go by, they'll be lined up pretty soon. There are plenty of ICE's already queued up at service stations with a couple of dozen pumps; that will be the situation with EVs in 10 years if the Government has its way (except that the queues will be longer).

    A small service station presently selling 10kL per day would have to be replaced by one selling 20MWh of electricity per day. That is a hellava lot of electricity, requiring 8000 of your 415W panels to produce in Summer. Winter doesn't bear thinking about, so it ain't going to happen.
