The planar electric double layer capacitance of the solvent primitive model electrolyte is studied using simulation and two versions of the modified Poisson-Boltzmann theory. At small values of the surface charge and varying electrolyte concentration, the capacitance has a behaviour analogous to that of the restricted primitive model electrolyte. As the electrolyte concentration is increased at a fixed total packing fraction, the minimum at zero surface charge changes to a maximum. This qualitative change is predicted by both simulation and the modified Poisson-Boltzmann theories. The transition envelope, separating the change in the capacitance from a minimum to a maximum at zero surface charge, is shifted from the restricted primitive model value to higher ion densities at fixed total packing fractions.
