I didn't mean as a sole energy source, auxiliary. Somewhat like brakes converting kinetic energy to electric current.

We're never going to see a 50x improvement in solar cells, that would violate thermodynamics. If you want a futuristic range-enhancing technology to dream about, look at in-road inductive charging (in-road discussion starts around 5:00): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b71wC4z8its http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b71wC4z8its Infrastructure costs would probably be massive though.
