Charging based on regenerative breaking would probably give a far greater amount of energy than this solar panel approach.

- throwaway81523 6y agoAll or almost all electric cars already have regenerative braking. The energy recovered from braking has to come from somewhere. I'm surprised someone is doing this with a car but I've thought it somewhat feasible for a van with a large flat roof. I do wonder if the solar cells will be a theft and vandalism target if the car is left parked outside in public all the time.
