That's still 3-6 fewer miles worth of charging to do from more expensive sources. Even if it can't come close to covering your full use it's still covering something

It may still lose on this, but you would also want to include the externality costs that the consumer doesn't themselves bear for whether it is worth it overall.

Manufacturing cost is like $40 cells, $20 electronics and $200 in glass fusion, mounting, etc.

My car eats 200W just being online so it would be useless to charge from solar.
