But I was thinking. What if you went on a camping trip for 5 days? If it was parked for 5 days, it would theoretically add 200 miles of range for your trip home. Still. Having to ride around in a kidney bean is trey weird. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 12/5/2020 8:54 AM, Chuck McCown via AF wrote: These guys have 3X the efficiency of my leaf, so that is good. Even if you could get 100 square feet of panel on a car, that is 1000 watts if oriented perfectly. So a bit more than 1 HP for actually driving on it. They say they have a 100 kWh battery. OK 100 hours of sunlight to charge. But they probably only have half that much charging capacity.
