It's not any more free than any other EV. it still uses energy. That energy can only be used for the car though. Put some solar on your house and it can charge your car (not free, the price of the panels same as the car). It will also be more efficient because it can be placed ideally, unlike the car. It'll also be cheaper for a larger area because it can take advantage of cheap standard panels instead of expensive custom ones.

Yeah, that's what I said.
