I believe this has been discussed on the list before.
Issues I remember:
-on 300 watts of power under full sunlight, so needs a solar
concentrator carport to give more power. (how much more is not strictly
specified, but it looks to be 5-10x the surface area, so perhaps as much
as 1.5kW-2kW of charging...so L1 or very slow L2?)
-Car has to move (very slowly) throughout the day to stay under the
"focus spot" of the solar carport. (orientation of "carport" must be
correct as well.
-Top of car roof will get HOT with concentrated sunlight on it.
I don't think any of the above are deal breakers, especially if the car
can automatically roll down it's windows while charging under full sun.

Pretty slick idea using Fresnel lens to concentrate the solar energy and moving
the vehicle to stay in the sweet spot. Lawrence Rhodes
