Muy bueno.
As I said before, a fold out design would be great. Using just the space above an average car could produce some 2kW, or 10kWh per day in the summer. With solar tracking that scribbly tilts the whole panel you could get even more. Then make it fold out wider than the car.
No need to plug in (except on cloudy days or long trips). And for certain use case scenarios you wouldn't even need a big battery to soak all that up. Like me and my usual "doctor visits" that have me driving short distances and leaving the car parked in different spots for periods between 15 minutes to an hour with none of those being places I could plug in even if my car had a way to plug in.
