“How long does it take to fully charge that $150,000 fantasy car?”

If it’s sunny out, it will recharge itself as it is being used. I guess it will come down to the energy consumption rate vs the charging rate. As for 150k, like everything else, that price will come down. 300k Teslas have been sold so far in the US. I would bet those same owners could probably afford a solar powered vehicle.

Just leave the government out of it and the free market will take care of itself.

Agree, but unfortunately that doesn’t seem an option, with electric cars now MANDATED by 2035 in much of the country.

Wait till the state and fed government start to charge a road use tax on those things.

Got an EV? Then here is your yearly road use tax...5 grand..or more!

Added right into your April 15th income tax filing.

If it’s sunny out...
All year round, 24/7/365, how much of that year is bright, overhead sunlight? 20%, maybe. Nighttime is dark, of course and the northern climes have long, winter nights. Then there's cloudy, rainy days where you will get reduced solar conversion power all through the daytime. And even on bright sunny days, it's the same for early morning and late in the day, where the low sun will provide little power. Ditto for the overhead sun when there's intermittent cloud cover drifting by.

Sure, tell me again, if it’s sunny out...

Could you give me a sentence or two on how that would be accomplished, using existing technology?

You have obviously never calculated the charging capacity of solar panels. It would take days of sunlight to charge that car to be able to drive the fantasy 400 miles, and half of the weight of the car will be a massive battery pack several times heavier than a Teslas.

I hope you have not sent your money to get on their list. I have a much better deal for you, investing in a cold-fusion-energy patent I’m about to file. Send me $5,000 today, and I promise it will be worth $5 million in 2 years.

You can’t possibly miss.
