Hello Peder!

90% of my charging is done at home. I've made 10.7 MWh using my PEV panels so far this year, which is about 90% of all my electricity needs for home and my i3 & e.Miata (conversion).

I look forward to using this forum.

Hey guys, sorry no i3 yet maybe someday

We charge from Solar (thanks to BMW for the RGS/Electronaut deal)
originally a 5.4 kW enphase system that I've added to (now 6.4kW) and soon to add another 1.5kW.

looking forward to chatting with some old friends again about BMWi EVs

I started work on getting an electric car right when we got panels installed about 3 years ago.

I charge almost exclusively with solar PV. The array generates ~13 MWh annually. The house demand is ~8 MWh per year, and in the three months since taking delivery, the i3 is on track to use ~5 MWh per 12 months. Please see array specs at tinyurl.com/sunloco.

Before i3 we generated 90% of our use, not sure what we'll see now.
