Ok this is interesting. Do you have a source for this figure? You are saying that 1.3 million EVs would be enough to support the UK were it to transition to wind + solar entirely (my initial question)?

@penitentOne

1.3m EV could store 1.3million x 50kwh = 65gwh

The UK uses 28gwh on an average day

It seems to add up quite well. These guys looked at it.
