How to charge an electric car without solar?
I’ve heard about using solar power to charge electric cars, but I was wondering if you have to have solar or if you can just as easily charge without it?

While solar power is a form of generating electricity to charge your car, you can definitely charge an EV without solar power. Just connect to your regular power grid and you’re set.
Installing solar panels can be pricey and cumbersome for some homeowners, so they are not needed. An EV will run just fine on electricity regardless of how it was generated.
This said, implementing solar power panels, is a great way to save money on your EV charging fees, especially if you live in a sunny area. Solar is a completely clean electricity generator that bypasses the burning of fossil fuels altogether.
If solar panels suit your lifestyle and budget, then invest in them. You shouldn’t feel bullied into buying something, especially when it comes to your insurance.
