You clearly don’t know Solar because you’re asking about mWh from a single panel, then you’re asking about the battery size? The battery is sized to the field. If it’s a 500 megawatt site (which is a small one competitively) then the battery will be sized accordingly so that the site charges it during the day and then discharged at night to keep power flowing into the grid.
An EV will take about 50kWh to fully charge, and that can be done with a single 50kw string inverter and about 150 individual Solar modules (panels). So with a single inverter (there are literally hundreds on some sites) I can fully charge an EV in less than 30 minutes with a super charger.
And before you give me shit saying about the dumb wall charger taking way longer, yes but it will use the same amount of power overall to charge the vehicle because it’s still the same amount of wattage.
You keep acting like there’s some magical math equation that makes you right and there isn’t because you’re not.
