Comment on Why don't electric car manufacurers put solar panels on the car roofs?
Bigfish@lemmynsfw.com 3 weeks agoFor comparison, my rooftop solar array, with around 16 full-sized panels (~6kwp) produces just under 2 miles per hour in my electric car (around 3.3kwh/mi). Or in real life, takes about 2 fully sunny days to produce the power to charge the car.

What kind of ev are you driving? That’s insanely high energy usage.
My EV gets about 6km per kwh (around 4 miles)

You get 4 miles per kwh and they get 3.3 and you call that insanely high? The 2.5-4 mile to kwh is really standard for EVs. I don’t think the 3.3 is outside of the norm at all.

I don’t know anything about EV efficiency, but the rates are inverse, so they are drastically different. 3.3kwh/mile 4 miles/kwh or 0.25kwh/mile

Oh I see that error now. I guess I just assumed from context his 6kwh panels generated 2 miles per hour. I get the confusion though

Fish reversed the numbers. It should have been miles per kWh
