    Works pretty damn well for France. Maybe we should follow their lead.

      I wholeheartedly agree with that. Doesn’t seem like anyone is though unfortunately.

  There was even a car that charged itself with solar, they only ran out of money because there was little interest for an unknown new brand

    The cars with solar panels on them are a gimmick. There isn’t enough surface area on a normal car to meaningfully charge the battery.

      I think you would be surprised. The problem really comes from the car not being a good shape to put solar panels on. I did the math a while back, and I only needed 200w of panels to cover my weekly driving.

    There was never a car that charged itself with solar because it’s practically impossible unless you put the car on a turntable at the equator in July.
