Four months ago, we replaced one of our two gas-powered cars with an electric one. During the same period last year, we used 354 liters of gasoline. This year, we only used 49 liters. That's an 86% reduction.
95% of the electricity charged into our #EV came from solar power.

in reply to Jiří Eischmann • • •This sounds almost exactly as our experience. We too "dropped" one of the fossil fuel cars in March and exchanged it with an electric car. Since then we used the "other" only for the holiday trip - the electric car has become our day-to-day car for all occasions. I am not sure how we will cope in autumn/winter but I am sure it will work!
And our small pv (7kWp) is more than enough for all our electrical needs (including a heat pump):

And the instant torque any time you put down your pedal is much more fun than internal combustion.
