Some Hyundai hybrids have it as a factory option. But 15-20 is an order of magnitude more than what they're capable of. Their solar car roof is more like 1 mile in near-optimal conditions. It's why the Lightyear 0 is basically empty promises and even the more minimalistic Aptera is probably straining credulity on being capable of zero charging.I've long wondered why no one has invested more to spearhead a solar-sipping passive trickle charge to supplement a traditional EV drivetrain. Who cares if its inefficient if you make it known through marketing that its just supplementary? I wouldn't be mad if I only reclaimed 15-20 miles worth of charge while my car sat in the parking lot at at work. That's a free commute home.
