whats the best way to charge a car with solar power

hi ive had my system for exactly a week and now want to work out the best way to manage my car charging via the system.
do any of you have any tips on how to do this ?
thanks

xander What does your system constitute (inverter capacity/type, batteries, PV array size)? What sort of EV charger do you have? What are your priorities (making sure the car is always charged, or minimising the cost over time)?

In the current weather/season, I doubt you will be able to charge your car with solar. If you manage, it will be very limited.

Over the summer, I have charged a lot, micro-managing my system and EVSE. But now generation is low and getting lower, hardly covering my house load.
Issues:

• you need to be home at all times
• the car needs to be plugged in, and your EVSE has to be capable of working with solar (which will only make it easier, see my earlier comment on "micro-managing")

The rest will depend on your specific setup/system.

Tim ive got 18 panels 10.4 kw battery not sure about the inverter lol im thinking about keeping it topped up to 80%
at the mo i charge it up once a week normaly 30-40 units

xander with 18 panels if it’s a Givenergy inverter, I expect it’s a HY5. As @rio911 says you’re unlikely to be able to put much in the EV if you prioritise the house battery. We have been able to keep our EV fully charged from the end of March to the end of October from PV but now we are charging EV overnight once a week and keeping the house battery at 70% overnight to ensure we don’t import at peak rate before off-peak starts again the next night.
