The EV thing is another reason why I think we need to get solar on the roofs of office buildings rather than houses.

We're quite fortunate to have a strong hydro base in NZ, because it can be ramped up and down very quickly to fill in the gaps left by renewables, and in some cases even store energy, although I don't think we have much pumped hydro here yet.
