Fish reversed the numbers. It should have been miles per kWh
Comment on Why don't electric car manufacurers put solar panels on the car roofs?
Guest_User@lemmy.world 5 months agoYou 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

I’m still a little confused, wouldn’t 6kwh provide roughly 12 to 24 miles of driving range?

They mentioned their car uses 3.3 kwh per mile. With their solar setup they can generate around 6hwh per hour. Meaning they can generate roughly 2 miles every hour of sunlight.
