Honestly it seems like a no-brainer to me to put a solar panel on the roof of electric cars to increase their action radius, so I figured there’s probably one or more good reasons why they don’t.

Also, I acknowledge that a quick google could answer the question, but with the current state of google I don’t want to read AI bullshit. I want an actual answer, and I bet there will be some engineers eager to explain the issues.

    Thanks for posting the question! Whole point of the community.

    I think we’ll see more of this in the future as they continue to make progress on inexpensive “solar paints” and the like. It’s not a bad idea, it’s just that the tech level doesn’t show much bang for the buck…yet.
