Comment on Why don't electric car manufacurers put solar panels on the car roofs?
Tja@programming.dev 3 weeks agoI appreciate the long form reasoning, but I disagree. People I’ve met that don’t like EVs, they don’t like EVs first, look for a reason later. There is of course a tiny, minuscule minority that do more than 300 miles of driving a day and cannot spare 15 minutes to charge, but that is well under 0.1% of drivers.

Never said it was people who drive high kms a day that has these concerns.
Seems to me we arent disagreeing on reasoning but about different situations. Such is the way of not speaking face to face though.
If it helps im not just making shit up, i sell autoparts to repair shops and have heard these complaints for over 10 years.
Its actually quite fascinating how often people drop the concern im trying to discuss once they start using an ev, or personally know someone who has one and they get encouraged by their persons lack of concern about losing a charge.
I think i wouldnt pay extra for the solar panel version if it was a significant extra cost but if it wasnt too much. (15k for full.self driving which doesnt even transfer to a new owner put the brakes on the failing enthudsiasm i had with tesla when model s was new)
