Other Notes and responses to Frequent comments
1. Aptera seems to be the closest to a production ready car. They are still looking for investors and have one prototype car. The claim is up to 40 miles per day in ideal conditions from solar power. It is a two seater and that is enough distance for most daily drivers.

2. Several people seem to think we don’t have this because its not profitable without selling the electricity as well. This feels more like conspiracy thinking rather than considering the real problem. Gasoline cars are sold and no car company expects to make money from the gasoline purchased later. So are thousands of other products like washing machines etc. Solar panels are sold at a profit for homes. AND, nearly every government actually gives you money back if you buy them in tax rebates. You can buy a solar panel at Walmart which is more evidence of just how much profit there is in just selling it once. All indications are that solar has value to sellers, to government and the consumer. A truly solar powered car could be sold for more than a regular car. There is no evidence someone would not make a car that they can sell at a profit, because they can’t also sell you the electricity. That seems like a poor assumption. There is a strange pleasure in thinking you are aware of a conspiracy… like someone has something to keep from you and you caught them. But this claim doesn’t match what we actually see in the market place, and business behavior.
