An EV owner shared his experience of charging his 2024 Chevy Blazer RS AWD using a home solar system after driving 14,480 miles over two years. He averaged 3.4 miles per kWh, resulting in a charging cost of $617.65 at $0.15/kWh. In comparison, driving a gasoline vehicle with similar mileage would cost approximately $2,100 at 20 mpg or $1,400 at 30 mpg. His findings highlight the cost-effectiveness of using solar energy for EV charging.
