Napkin math disclaimer Cost of Iran war so far: $43.6b Number of people in the US with drivers license: 242.1m Average EV cost: $55k Number of households: 133m Average rooftop solar cost: $22.5k Cost to give everyone EVs: 242.1m × $55k = $13.3b Cost to give every household rooftop solar: 133m × $22.5k = $3b Total cost: $16.3b We’d have enough to do it almost 3 times.
