Comments on: EV and Fleets: Electric Heat Hits the Streets http://gas2.org/2009/08/24/ev-and-fleets-electric-heat-hits-the-streets/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

The glass/transparent surface would get scratched and covered by dirt making the solar panels perform poorly. Also they could never be tilted to an optimal degree towards the sun. Better placing solar panels as a roof cover over the parking. This would have the added advantage of parking the car in the shade. You would simply be paying for a covered parking, with the electrical power as an added service. @Aix

Kind of like those plates they designed where you can simply throw your phone or mp3 player on top and it will charge them without wires. I like your idea Aix.

I think if somehow a blacktop surface, such as a parking lot, could integrate some kind of solar panel that could be driven on, vehicles would be able to park and recharge their car while at work or where ever they might be. When the vehicle would be put into park or the handbrake would be pulled, a connection would be made to the surface of the ground that would charge the car (like a race car on an electric track). So instead of wasting all that energy that large parking lots soak up, it can be put to use and reduce the need for plugging the vehicle.
