Solar charging works great since the car is in the garage overnight when the sun shines the brightest.

I don’t disagree. That’s likely also where Tesla’s battery comes in ...or any one of several different batteries that are much cheaper but larger—carry more charge...and are suited for houses but not cars.

But the game changer in this area will be hot swap battery packs, which is also on Tesla’s list of “to do’s.” So your car becomes kinda like your cordless drill!

The real issue IS going to be the availability of electrical energy. Right now, it’s going to be the medium term issue with electric cars. These things aren’t golf carts.
