The deal breaker is that you need a specialized carport in the first place. It'd be far more efficient, cheaper, safer, and everything else to just put regular panels at their optimal orientation on the carport (or wherever) and forget about having your car emulate a giant ant in the spotlight of a magnifying glass. If anything, this concept is a perfect illustration of the utter impracticability of self-contained solar vehicles as anything other than engineering challenges. And, also, of the sheer brilliance of fixed rooftop solar power generation. We don't expect gasoline-powered cars to carry their own drilling rigs and refineries, do we? b& _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
