The automobile ideal for many climate-concerned consumers is an electric car that is completely charged by clean, renewable energy. For many, that means a rooftop solar power system that feeds electricity into your house and
then from there into your car. However, plenty of EV drivers can’t get rooftop solar power, and most who have it also have to charge elsewhere at least some of the time. What to do to ensure you’re getting as much clean electricity into your car as possible?
“Companies and governments normally purchase clean energy credits in order to match renewable generation to their total consumption on an annual basis. This means that while renewable energy is being purchased, it isn’t in reality being matched to clean energy sources to the fullest extent, as there is a different proportion of renewable energy on the grid at different times.”
This doesn’t just more directly supply green electricity to EV drivers; it also provides better price signals to the electricity market and creates more demand at times of higher renewable energy generation.
