SolarCity makes electric cars an even smarter investment | Grist

EV + PV = ROI

You canâ€™t get more California greeninâ€™ than this.

Peter Rive can charge up his Tesla Roadster electric sports car in his San Francisco garage with carbon-free electricity supplied by a solar array on his roof. Then, if heâ€™s in the mood for a road trip, he can drive to Los Angeles, stopping at a solar-powered charging station along the way to top off the battery.

The free charging stations on the â€œsolar highwayâ€â€”aka the 101â€”were recently installed by SolarCity, the Silicon Valley rooftop solar company Rive founded with his brother Lyndon. (The electric-blue Roadster sitting in his garage was made by his cousin Elon Muskâ€˜s startup, Tesla Motors.)
