Unfortunately, solar irradiance is about 1000 W/m^2 -- Solar irradiance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThat would be a great idea. If someone could build a solar panel efficient enough to be effective on the roof of an EV, they'd become very wealthy.
I'd love to see it in my lifetime.
*thinQuestion? How about using the super think flexible solar panels? I have seen people install them on their vans.. It would not add the weight of a conventional glass panel?
And inefficiently cheap cheap cheap. Totally for greenwashing. I have one too!My Leaf has had it since 2011... you're correct... it only charges 12 volt. The panel is also tiny tiny tiny.
Oh, snap.They also think hydrogen fueled cars are practical.

Not sure why you think it would be that expensive. Roof sized solar panels would be a few hundred dollars, and Elon might know a solar panel company that could make them cheaply and give him a deal...
I agree.. even if its 1/2 a mile.. its 1/2 mile that someone without a panel would not have. Not practical, but it does somethingSure somewhat of a gimmick, like many features in cars, though this one actually gives you some range, and, more importantly, kills the vampire drain. Remember, people spend thousands on things like rims which do nothing for the car other than look different, this actually produces something usable.
With the large glass roof, would you opt for a solar panel (like the Prius prime) instead of the glass roof? It would only add a few miles of range per day, but would negate vampire drain.
