recumbent which is solar-powered. When I was in college they spoke of
"one day having spray-on amorphous PV material" - that was 20 years ago,
still no joy!!!
So much to tinker with, so little time.

Hey!
I've given this some thought too. It can really make the imagination run wild!
Solar body panels on your car as standard equipment (you might have to go with the Henry
Ford color scheme -- "...any color you want, as long as it's black")
...or maybe PV paint!!
I once thought about mounting solar panels on a long trailer, behind a bicycle
with an electric motor driving the rear wheel. But, I wondered how many
pedestrians I'd take out whenever I made a turn. Besides I have to lose about
20 pounds anyway. ...may as well keep the pedals.

I've often thought about a car that would re-charge itself by solar
panels when its sitting outside our offices for 8+ hours a day.
Has anybody looked at this scenario -
where the electric-only car recharges itself during daylight hours
through the use of solar panels integrated into the body panels?
Is this the one where you use a diesel generator, running biofuel of course,
to keep the batteries topped up?
