I live in a suburb. Despite nearly every house having a garage, almost everyone parks in the driveway or on the street and uses the garage for storage or other purposes. And the way the trees (minimal, and mostly in backyards) and houses are laid out (primarily single story ranch houses) I would estimate that most vehicles spend at least 60-70% of the day in sunlight (particularly so during the mid-day period where the highest irradiance is available) if not more. And conveniently this suburb is about 10 miles away from a handful of different office hubs. A car like this would be a massive hit here. EVs are already taking off (I am seeing a ton of Bolts). Not having to plug in every night would certainly be a popular selling point.

Just because it doesn't work for you personally doesn't mean it is a bad idea.
