      No, definitely not. Way too much thought is going into this. The first UMC was simply defective. Pins would have to be untouchably hot...

      Or wait a few years when the panel drops down to the size of a small laptop and powers the car for hours while only being in solar...

      I realize now that my math was wrong. I was using 112W for a square foot of 'ideal' cells, taking every bit of power(both heat and...

      www.plugshare.com will let you know mostly-only-supercharger stations if you set the power to >= 75kw and plug type to NACS. Be aware it...

      I don't refuse to harness it, I think its just REALLY suboptimal to do it with car mounted solar panels.

      1200W is 10 amps at 120v. Charging at 12A(the usual 5-15 rate) would be 1440W (aka DOUBLE what these panels can MAYBE supply, in...

      I would, but I'm not a sucker. Even their own documents suggest they are stretching the truth. 1200W is essentially a 10A 120V...

      Someone actually selling this today.

      I saw that on a youtube video a week ago, I think. SBSP does indeed have a better chance of being a 'thing' than a laptop sized solar...

      I'd certainly agree. I was specifically going for best (ideal, unrealistic) case and the math still doesn't work well at all.

      Post 78 shows that non-cutting edge tech creates lots of energy from car mounted PV panels.

      What does post 78 have to do with the claim that "cutting edge tech" is going to create energy from nothing?

      Nope new cutting edge tech coming will be a game changer in solar and everyone will want one.

      I think the main disconnect here is the camp that says "solar panels on a car roof will make it so the car never needs to plug in" and...

      Did you not see that the absolute maximum energy available in sunlight is around 1120 watts per square meter? One handy laptop is about...
