The car is an interesting idea, Pat, and is a very good next step. But the blindness of some people is amazing, they just cannot envision the future:
How short-sighted! Two years ago, solar panels on car roofs only produced enough power to run a little fan and keep the car cool. Now we have a car that can generate enough electricity to charge the batteries to run the car for several hours a day. And a for a lot of people, that would cover 90% of their driving. Where will we be in another couple of years? I'll guarantee you it'll be much further than Ford is now! Edited by Brewster, Jan 5 2014, 05:23 AM.

It's more of a toy than a car. If solar worked well and was inexpensive enough I would have it on my coach. Ask those who have installed solar, it isn't worth it. |

The key Brew is that most people don't drive a car more than about 20 miles a day. The solar panel would cover that usage. |

Don't flatter yourself. You aren't that important. Just look at what everybody says about you. It ain't nice. |

That's what I thought several years ago. It only happened when Mike banned him. He's a trouble maker and will do whatever he thinks necessary to disrupt every thread. |
