I think what you're looking for is the Lightyear One. https://lightyear.one/
A modern, amazingly efficient EV, with solar roof. But since it's so niche, as described before, it will cost you around $170k :) As for the original question of "faking out EV to accept solar input while driving" the easiest way of doing this is just connecting some wires directly to the HV battery +/-, with contactors (positive and negative), fuses (positive and negative), and your 400VDC CC-CV MPPT solar charge controller (likely custom required) with reverse current blocking, to your custom roof mounted solar panel. The car won't know any different, other than you're driving marginally more efficiently than normal. All precautions about dealing with 400VDC at lethal power levels (not just to you, but power levels that can literally explode metal if shorted) apply. Doesn't sound so easy now does it. Budget 6 months+ with lots of debug afterwards, and high likelihood of blowing up some electronics. All so you can get 13mi of range per day from the sun, on your car. There's a reason Elon and others think this is a dumb idea; just put solar panels on the roof of your house, carport, etc. and get 50% higher utilization of those same solar panels/cells, and power your house too when the car is full or absent. -- Sent from: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/ _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/index.html INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
