I also envision a solar surface on all e-cars which charge the batteries anytime they are outside not under some kind of cover.

What you "envision" is not possible by the laws of physics. Look up "insolation tables" for the US. Check wintertime. The best solar panels have 23% or so efficiency. Your little toy electric car is small and has very little room for photo-voltaic panels.

Get back to me after you realize the error of your statement.

It’s not my place to say whether you are right or wrong but I do know time will tell and all this negative talk will do nothing to change how it unfolds.

“The best solar panels have 23% or so efficiency”

Lab units are getting 46% efficiency.
