I have been to many of these cities, and I am thinking in percentage of consumers not percentage of land. Given the density of the dense areas, a quite large percentage of people live in these areas. Beyond that.. Yes Tokyo is a big sprawling city with lots of low-rise neighborhoods. However it's not like Tokyo really has street parking there either. Most of these cars are going to be underground. You need a permit in many areas of Japan certifying you have off-street parking for any car you purchase. So again, Tokyo is not like NYC where people just street park cars all over the place. That's why people complain about the urban character of US vs W Europe/Japan/etc.. most of those places don't have the "car culture" of America. You don't even need to add solar panels. Just being within 50ft of a 110V outlet one night a week is going to get you as much charge as these solar roof pipe dreams. There's a reason basically none of these have gone to market and the startups proposing them are either bankrupt or on the verge of it..
