there’s a market for this, even if it’s not you. the bulk of my daily travel happens by bike. i keep a car around for visiting friends/family in the nearby suburbs on the weekends. a typical week would have me driving it between 20-40mi. at that point, i can have an EV without having to upgrade any wiring in my home, or having to fight the roommates over our one off-street parking space where i could even plug an EV in. the reason i wouldn’t buy this (yet)? i’m too cheap. since i spend so little time in a car already i can’t imagine ever paying more than $10k for one. by the time this model hits the used market i assume the solar efficiency and battery capacity will be about half what it is new, which might be too limiting for me. maybe future revisions will improve enough to counter that... or maybe the initial market is too small that they won’t be able to overcome that initial hurdle and build out. but the product idea has some merit: i still wouldn’t write it off entirely the way a lot of people here are.
