- brosenau, on 05/09/2008, -0/+0This is a truly momentous occasion! I need to ask the general public a question that's been plaguing me since the EV-1 days. Why don't the engineers design photovoltaic panels into the roof, trunk lid, and/or the hood? This makes perfect sense and it would reduce the need for "plugging in" at night to charge. Now, I don't know all of the statistics, but - Think of it this way, we typically drive to and from work - a trip that last about 20 minutes or so. Now, the car sits in the parking lot the remainder of the work day...just sitting there doing nothing. So, why not allow the batteries to charge from the power of the sun - FOR FREE! If you read this, and you think it makes sense, go to the GM Volt web site and help push this idea to the executives...show the need! Why trade the cost of gasoline for the cost of electricity when it can be provided to you all day - every day - for nothing!
