Well, it might make sense for the special-case commute where your pack isn't large enough to make a round trip but, with solar panels charging during the day, you top off enough to get home. Solves the can't-plug-in-at-work problem too. In fact, you seek the un-coveted parking space that

Re: [EVDL] Making solar work in a conventional vehicle.

I get about 1 km per hour of top-down-noon sun on a 200 Watt panel. But that only works May to July and only for the center 5 hours of the day. The power drops to virtually zero in December due to the sun angle. Having done it on two cars, It just make no sense once I went solar at home

Re: [EVDL] Making solar work in a conventional vehicle.

Agreed. The 'solar garage' has so many benefits. The placement of the cells can be (more or less) optimized for charging. The panels can be fairly standard ones and so relatively cheaper. The dump pack can provide emergency power for the freezer and other essential items. The space underneath

When I had a full time job (although this J1772 stuff is turning into a full time job...), I'd have to leave around 6:30 - 7 AM and it would be dark out. If I had a EV that depended on PV panels on the EV roof, I'd be stuck at home, maybe not too bad a deal... Rush Tucson AZ -Original

Re: [EVDL] Making solar work in a conventional vehicle.

Yeah, I have considered visiting SF (1 hour away) when Stella came through but had other obligations. 1.5kW solar on Stella means that it will get about 7-8 kWh under optimal conditions in a day and to be able to travel 70km (44 mi) on that energy means that its optimized efficiency is about

Re: [EVDL] Making solar work in a conventional vehicle.

I don't speak for Lawrence, but it looks to me as if he's is on a quest. He saw the Stella solar vehicle (look it up online) when it came through his area several months back. As you can see from the Stella's website, its builders are flogging the PR donkey hard, hoping to land a deal to get

Re: [EVDL] Making solar work in a conventional vehicle.

Ben, Don't worry - Lawrence has been around for longer and has done many EVs and he does like to tinker until it works. He once found out that the rear sprocket for an e-motorcycle need to be almost taller than the rear wheel to get a decent torque for climbing SF hills. I am sure that he won't
