As someone that provides more energy to the grid than I draw from march to october, using solar panels I could afford in large part thanks to the economics of an electric car, it really bothers me when people use this argument.

During peaker plant hours I'm pumping 3-4kW to my neighbors, actively reducing grid demand..

When my car charges itself at 4am, it is using base load nuclear that needs a destination.

Also, using renters as the excuse in a wealth argument is disingenuous. That is an entirely separate poor financial decision. My house was purchased for 7 years of what my rent was costing when I bought it in 2012. In today's rent the figure would be much worse.
