Tesla roof is sweeet (but expensive), and I had to fight hard with the wife to get solar on top of our brand new roof. And you're right, free implies no cost-no gain. I have actually made money on my system after costs, savings and tax benefits are factored in (though maybe not depreciation, which is as hard to quantify as added value in terms of home worth). And, since it is already a sunken cost, any additional savings I can get with a PHEV Wrangler would just be gravy, and even better than "free". Now, if the PHEV Wrangler is $10k more than an ICE Wrangler, then I may never recoup those costs and probably would have to pass, regardless of the environmental impact of my 25 miles per day. But, after federal and state incentives, I expect it to be within a reasonable range.Solar isn't free though as you had upfront costs, though I get your point. If they weren't so ugly, I would get them, but I may end up getting the Tesla roof when we refi.
