If you want a css so bad there's a bunch of css vehicles for sale right now.

Talking about the electronics as far as aerodynamic efficiency most people don't want to buy something that looks like a lightyear or Aptera. When stopped and everything else off electric cars draw several hundred watts just to keep the inverter powered up. At highway speed the inverter losses are negligible. Inverters that draw almost no power at idle have been around for nearly 20 years, just not on cars.
So the solution is politics so we can make gasoline more viable and keep solar panels off cars? Ok, got it! Thanks! I don't get involved in politics so maybe I need to find another forum.

Inverters that draw almost no power at idle sounds like a good idea to me too.
