The best place to charge an EV is wherever the car spends the majority of its daylight hours (which for many workers will be the company parking lot). That way they can be charged directly from solar PV during the peak hours, avoiding the necessity for storing that energy anywhere else.

Also, if these charging stations are managed by the power company, they can act as reserves of power for the area, so electricity spikes can be handled by EVs. This also goes for cars parked at home, which can charge after peak hours and use other renewable sources, like wind.

I'm very interested to see if this actually happens in the near future.

Unless solar panels evolve _considerably_ in efficiency, or you cover a gigantic area with panels for a single car, I believe that’s not really a viable option
