Honestly it seems like a no-brainer to me to put a solar panel on the roof of electric cars to increase their action radius, so I figured there's probably one or more good reasons why they don't....
What I have seen previously is that the amount of energy you get from the solar cells that you could fit on the top of the car is really small compared to what it takes to charge the battery.
Since there is minimal benefit, and it's costly to include them and wire them to the battery, it hasn't been viewed as worthwhile.
Why don't electric car manufacurers put solar panels on the car roofs?
