Using 4.43 KM per kWh (based on the plug-in hybrid model [1]), that means the six hour charge is 0.8kWh.
At 12 cents per kWh, that means if you get six hours of solar every day (365 days), you'll save about $44 per year in electricity costs.
The average person has a car for 6.6 years [2], so that adds up to a whopping $289 in savings (assuming constant electricity prices, anyway). I wonder how much extra the solar panel costs?
