    Solar panels are also added weight, which reduces range. Any way you look at it, it makes more sense to have the solar panels at a base location you go back to.

    I guess an RV, or a camp trailer, makes sense to have panels on it, but that’s about it

      Solar panels are incredibly thin and light. There is no reason not to include them.

        Price. Large standardized panels are cheaper. Until you cover static otherwise unused space with solar, there’s no way this car is a better use of money.
