We've seen eletric cars like Sono Sion and Lightyear One have solar panels, but it makes more sense to put solar panels on a non-plugin hybrid since energy in one of those is more valuable, about $0.12/kWh for electricity from the wall and $0.77/kWh for electricity in the car - more than six times as much! (with European fuel prices)

Recently the Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima hybrids have come out with solar roof options.
solar panels on a car lol

no will not work


it's just as bad as solar road ways idea it's better just to store it(to charge it later) and/or have them roof mounted..
