With how cheap solar panels are getting, why not slap a few of them on the roof of every EV? Some days they get you 10 free miles, other days 20 or 30. If you’re a commuter, you’re basically driving for free at that point.
Sure it’s not enough on road trips, but why is that a problem?
The solar cells themselves may be cheap, I don't think putting them on the roof of a car (without ruining the aerodynamics) is particularly cheap, yet. Most people would be better served putting the solar panels on the roof of their house.
