So .. it would make sense to make a law that requires new parking spaces to have a solar roof which can charge the cars which park there for a few. This would spread rather quickly, I think.
I have solar panels at home and can charge a car .. but I'm mostly parked elsewhere when the sun is shining the most.
- immibis 1y agoThere's no reason to assume the charger and the panel have to be colocated if the panel isn't on the car. We have an electricity grid.
- wojciii 1y agoSo do we, but you can't produce the electricity at one location and consume it in another. In the non-practical sense where our government decided that this is not possible.

- maccard 1y agoSorry - I wasn’t explicit enough. The vast majority of existing and new developments where I live have on street parking - it’s not allocated, there’s no bays.

"If we threaten people with the state monopoly on violence, they'll do that thing I want." Sure, probably true! If solar parking lots are such a great idea, why do you need the threat? It seems like businesses or environmental groups would already be clamoring to install them. PV parking is a highly visible status symbol and good PR signal for your community or company (hence the few installations), but actually it isn't a great RoI either financially or for the environment.
