>Solar cars are scam. They are designed to get funding out of investors with poor understanding of technology. They certainly exist, it's just not the performance numbers people want from their vehicle. >Do some basic math. The electric energy harvested with the solar panels is negligible for transportation. Thats not true; and also depends on your usecase. Aptera is certainly going to come to market with a product for example, but does your usecase allow a 2 seat death trap? What if you have to have a baby seat? Surely nobody is putting children in it. But if you're a bachelor looking to reduce your cost of transportation to 0. Damn what a good option. >And why should we want to move around solar power plants? It makes much more sense to have them stationary. And to connect them to the power grid to sell the energy to others when the sun shines but the batteries are full. 1kw on your car is hardly comparable to a major solar array. By the same argument you can deny any solar purpose. Which isn't reasonable to many use cases.
