Sooooo, with all the EV push, why are automakers not making them solar as well so they recharge while sitting on a parking lot or as you drive? What am I missing?

At least up until now, the weight of the panels added more electricity usage than it generated. That may have already changed with current tech (or will soon with future tech)

If they are still too heavy there should definitely be research and development towards this.

I am thinking with current rech it would be light, I can get roll up lightweight ones to power my camper.

It's an odd looking, three-wheeled vehicle, but the technology appears pretty damned awesome.

I took a look at them. I kind of want one. I like the odd, 3 wheel look.

And they are supposedly coming out with a version that will have a range of 1,000 miles. That will be cool. I kinda like it, too. Wife HATES it. LOL!
