Yep, anything is do-able. My thinking at the moment is that an EV could stay plugged in all the time I'm not using it, so at least 12 hours a day, and at 3.6Kw my panels/battery could keep up. If I went to a 7Kw supply it would mean using grid power to charge for no real benefit given that the car would be sat in the garage from 10PM to 8AM at a bare minimum, and often an awful lot longer before being needed.
