k88 7 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Why do electric cars (like Prius, etc) do not have solar panels. Obviously not charge the car fully but will sure help significantly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
w44vi 17 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Cars do not have enough area to make an appreciable difference to the range. example I get 7.5 km per KWH a 250 watt panel will product 1kwh if in good direct sun light in 4 hours and a 250 watt panel is approx. 1.6m x 1m So realistically you would get 10 km of range per day if you covered your car 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
