Of course they are, but totally lacking in a business model to sell enough to change the word which MUST happen. And Yes, I BUILT one. I added 220 watts on my solar prius, but I tell people that it was fun but less than 0.001 economically practical! I have 100 times more solar area on my roof at home AND the large format solar panels coast one TENTH those on the prius for a net economic stupidity of 1000 to 1. All this fluff over making solar cars is just distracting people from the need to buy EVs NOW. We are ten years since EV's were good enough, and now they are better, faster, cleaner, cheaper to buy, cheaper to operate and cheaper to maintain. ALL WE NEED is an educated public and less fluff and chasing at windmills to distract them. Lets put our effort into educating the public about the 45 EVs we have now and the 250 planned over the next 7 years and stop distracting them with fluff...
