RE: But we are all subsidizing these cars. Not so different than rooftop solar.
You meant on buildings and houses but there once was a modified car like that.
My memory turned out to be accurate that an Israeli found a way to put solar panels of a Renault LeCar.
Wacky idea.

Right, home rooftop. I can’t blame the people who purchase these cars. I bought rooftop solar 10 years ago. $17,000 after subsidies and I have not paid a penny for electricity since. My bill was over $500/month before, so I’ve saved tens of thousands of dollars.
When COVID hit, I was considering buying my wife a Tesla, for about the cost of a Camry (subsidized). Her work has free charging (another subsidy), so I wouldn’t even need a home charging station. Her working from home tipped us back to ICE.
