Wrong. Storage is the issue. In my town in switzerland we produce a surplus of solar energy, so much that we can't even sell it back to the electricity company.

But the storage is too limited. The surplus during the summer doesn't translate to the winter months so other types of electricity generation is still required.

And what's great about EVs is that they are also storage. In winter you can buy electricity from places that do have solar potential - it's not far from Switzerland.
