Good ideas always start out small. Pennies are cheap and some of these ideas actually work out. That happens. But you see a lot of good ideas being copied. I think there are already several bigger manufactures that have announced solar panels as an option. A bit gimmicky for some of them of course. But its an easy up-sell and they love up-selling. Solar panels are widely used, widely understood to work, and the economics are trending to the point that you can slap them on just about everything. Like cars. Kind of obvious when you put it like that. Which is why that is a thing that is starting to happen in the car world right now. The couple of square meters of roof and hood provide a tempting target. You get maybe 2-3 kwh out of that on a nice day. That's 10-15 miles in an efficient EV. For most commuters, that would be very tempting and it might even be close to all they need on a daily basis. Meaning they'd be able to stretch their battery over weeks or months of use in between charging. Add grazing some free kwh at the supermarket or other places and it's perfect for people without the ability to charge at home.
