Mac, Our car gobbles 11,500W when it's plugged in to the grid. Even if we reduced the charge rate it would still be a heck of a draw - the chargers in the EVs are greedy. I'll be curious to hear if anyone has a solution, but my bet is that you need to give the EV a deep well to pull from (probably deeper than a battery bank or PV array can directly and consistently satisfy).
