How many solar panels do you need to charge an electric car? On average, you need six solar panels to charge an electric car – assuming each panel has a peak rating of 400W. However, the average three-bedroom household that''s looking to power its appliances and charge an EV will need a 5.9kWp system, which is 14 solar panels at 400W each.
You might have noticed that I recommend solar panels above that are rated higher than the max input of the power station. That''s because it''s usually fine to exceed the max amperage, because the solar charge controller in the power station will regulate it
