But what happens in the morning when people wake up to an empty car battery and they need to drive to work?

A) How much electricity do you think is consumed at night? ( US average daily consumption is 30 KWh)

B) How much electricity do you think can be stored in a car battery? (Tesla batteries are >= 50 KWh )

C) What happens to existing sources of renewable power that will continue to operate at night? ( They can still provide a baseload that accounts for any shortfalls )
