It worsens your vehicle's aerodynamics, too. Not only are you wasting energy you could harvest by leaving the PVs at home, you're also throwing it away in additional aero drag. > It's pure conspicuous consumerism ... I wouldn't go that far, but IMO it's not the best use of the resources (financial and otherwise) involved. The autonomous onboard-PV EV is a sweet dream. Who wouldn't love to drive on pure sunshine and never have to fuel up or plug in? But at the current state of the art, that's your heart talking, not your head.
