According to my calculations you will only be able to get about 3 miles a day max from a single solar cell on a car. They just don’t provide enough power for the amount of available space.

Like the way you make their single back wheel a feature, not a bug…
Myersmotors.com is looking at doing a redesign now, so send it to them!

Brian – Car manufacturers work with aftermarket companies all the time to get special vehicles into the showroom. If it really costs that much GM can work with SEV to get it made. But I truly, truly doubt it cost s much to develop a solar roof. SEV seems to be a very small business. They make the solar roof in pre-ordered batches of 30. Sounds almost Mom and Pop sized. If they can develop a solar roof, I’m sure GM can.

Most people still think of solar vehicles as science fair projects made out of bicycle parts. They’ll love a real car that doesn’t have to be fueled up or plugged in.

I don’t know that it makes sense to have a grid at all if you can make all the power you need on site.

Susan K – I’ll have to look for my car design. It’s been a couple weeks.

I guess there is no PM feature here or on Dkos . . .

Now that I am registered here, you can probably figure out who I am on Dkos.
