1/2 charge on a summer's day. So less if it's cloudy and less if it's winter. Maybe a lot less, maybe 40%.
A 1/2 charge seems to be about 1.2kwh. The EVT is rated at 1.5kw. So you might get an hour out of that. Anything more powerful (a typical scooter will be 5-10kw) and you're taking 20,30 minutes a day - with ideal sun.
So, if anything, my previous math was conservative.
Anyway - I'm not disagreeing with the principle - just saying I think there are better ways of going about it... I'd say, just stick with the plug-in and put the solar panels on your house.
- stcredzero 18y agoI think this guy's commute was about 20 minutes. For high density environments like cities, everyone spreading out their folding solar panels on their parked scooters would be problematic. (I need to post my Florence Italy pics. A line of parked scooters as far as the eye can see -- literally.) So solar panels on the roof of the workplace also look good.
