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.

Nah, I messed up looking at the answer, not with the math.
Edit: it’s wild that I was downvoted for admitting my mistake.

You messed up the math, so how is this admitting your mistake?

No, I didn’t. The math was fine, it was me not counting the places in the answer correctly that was the problem.
