Comments on: Electric Car Doubles As a Solar Panel To Power the Energy Grid http://gas2.org/2009/10/20/electric-city-car-doubles-as-a-solar-panel-to-power-the-energy-grid/ 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.

A car roof is the worst possible place - high investment and no return - a total waste of resources! The top of a parking area makes far more sense. Expensive concept toys and nothing more!

City cars underground, in parking structures, or curbside without access to the grid make for a poor conduit for all those nifty space panels. Maybe we should add plugs on all the parking meters and offer free parking to those that generate power back to the city grid. Still, it seems like a shame not to put such expensive solar panels to work generating electricity all day long, like on the top of a car port rather than on the car.
