I guess they need to find a way to harness the power of snow for the folks up NorthI don't see that as being feasible given that the sun only shines for half the day. Where the solar panels come into play is for charging purposes such as using them to charge batteries at a setup at home that then could be converted back to charging your EV.
But there are some interesting Solar EV races for the experimental university crowd.
We have Hydro Power to charge our EV's emission free.
Well said and congratulations on the off the grid. I on the other hand am proud of my large carbon footprint…….may I show it to you..LOL
looking at how we can get solar panels installed within the next 2-3 years. Seeing the incentives that are out there and the future for parts to be cheaper these incentives wont last long....
Get them while you can the free money is going to go poof one of these days
You couldn't fit enough square feet worth of panels on a car to be beneficial. It might take a week to get your car to 25%.

This would be interesting if it works these work. I remember that a few years back an Announcement of a new battery charger. It could charge a battery fully in 5 minutes or less. Problem was in the real world it did not workPotential aftermarket upgrade for Tesla 3 & S?
Svolt Energy unveils Dragon Armor Battery capable of giving EVs up to 1,000 km of range
The battery is expected to be available in production models in 2023, including an SUV and a coupe that will be in production in October next year.
Better idea pull up to the pump, stick the nozzle in Fillerup and be on my way
Especially with lower fuel prices. Not sure how long it will last by just paid $2.71/gallon and my son just paid $2.40/gallon in Georgia to undercut me.
That's how it always worked. Prices will push consumers almost to a breaking point THEN relax to about half way back. Consumers respond giddy to the "cheaper" prices. More readily accepting the newer normal. Till next time. Lol.
It was the same thing in New York City, the transit Authority would let leak at the fare increase would be one dollar. Then they would come back with $.50 and everybody would cheer when they really wanted $.50.
There is another issue here. We were just told to use less electricity the past weekend due to high demands on the grid from the extremely cold weather. What are we supposed to do with these electric cars? Given a choice between freezing or going without lights in the house or charging a car, the car charging would be the thing that should be rationed, not someone's ability to heat his house. What are the solutions to keep the grid from excessive demands and forced rolling blackouts if all these electric cars are being charged daily?
Problems. Will be solved.
Is this before or after pigs fly………?
