    Your mentality is old school. We have often more need at night than during the day for non renewable electricity right now

        At night?

        We use less power at night. We generate a LOT less power at night. Because the sun is off for the most part.

        Do you go to bed at sunset?
        Do you turn off your heat at sunset in the winter? Maybe you do, but most people don’t.

        Also, most people with an electric car and a garage to park it can just use a cheap Level 1 charger to trickle charge it whenever it’s in the garage and always have plenty of range for their commute and errands. This means all of those cars are charging. … at night while the owner sleeps.
