The explosive growth in home solar is going to be key here. We recently got solar and our supplier sends us marketing emails about home batteries and fast car chargers.

Agreed, policy should apply the model that is working so well for solar to home charging. Maybe even leverage that sales/marketing infrastructure and bundle charging into financing for these projects.

This is a bad idea though. You don't need home solar to have an EV that easily charges for 50 miles of daily driving without anything more than a standard outlet. Having an EV can increase push for solar but should avoid making potential EV buyers think they need to also budget a $20k solar array.

Sorry for the minirant, but most people don't know this and just think it's electrons in electrons out. But it isn't at all. (California really screwed this one up actually!) EV adoption should not rely on PV adoption. But I'd love to see more truly off grid deployments. That avoids the grid probs.

So I think we're going to see a slower adoption in this as large pv deployments including storage start to increase. That's the right way to do it! I think that rooftop solar is paying more value to the homeowner than it should, and if you get around 30% adoption energy is wasted to grid balance!

I'm actually going to disagree with this here. Turns out that having distributed rooftop solar is really bad for the grid - that's the main reason why so many utilities are pushing back against it. It's waaay more complicated than a off grid battery storage system that people imagine.
