They already did it, and they get 20-75 miles per 5 hours of daylight. So, it's kind of too late to predict that it will cost more overhead than it generates. T

They already did it, and they get 20-75 miles per 5 hours of daylight. So, it's kind of too late to predict that it will cost more overhead than it generates. This is easily entirely free commute and even the side trip to the grocery store for a lot of people. And this is only the crude diy proof of concept. It surely doesn't do as well in winter etc and of course is fragile and not aerodynamic and will probably break 8 times a year in some way, but all a proof of concept has to do is prove the concept, and this certainly did. It probably just still isn't practical for a manufacturer to try to scale it out to offering the more efficient non-diy version. But then again, I'd have said that about any EV at all just because of the batteries, charging circuits, and weight, and yet there they are millions of EVs out there existing despite my incredulity, like they just don't even care that I think it shouldn't be workable.
