Oh. That absolutely won't happen. You'll be losing battery power while you're driving around.

They can make all solar vehicles that will go and keep going as long as there's sunshine, but they aren't anything a regular person could use.

Yep. Iirc apterra does 100wh/mi and is covered with less than 1000w of solar, so you only make at most 10 miles of range per hour in perfect solar conditions.
