If it can charge while sailing there is no downside. At least as long as a substantial percentage of total charge can come from the integrated solar.

- SideburnsOfDoom 10mo ago> At least as long as a substantial percentage of total charge can come from the integrated solar Yes, but that's highly doubtful. It doesn't work for EVs with panels on the car's roof - you don't get significant charge from it. It's far more practical to put the panels on a larger, fixed structure where the vehicles charges daily.
