There's also the extra weight involved. If you used that extra weight for more batteries instead of solar panels, you might have even more range.

- jfengel 7y agoIf they could paint the solar cells directly into the surface of the car, it would add little additional weight. Most of the weight of a solar panel is the backing and frame to provide stiffness, and you could use the car body for that. That's a big "if", though. Photovoltaic paint is currently around half as efficient as commercial solar panels.
