I wonder how much you could increase the range by fitting solar cells on the car

Bob, funny you should mention that....There is a small solar panel on the top of the car that keeps the 12 volt part of the electrical system charged. If it's topped off then it draws less current from the main banks inverter. Nice touch.
Well, I got 116 miles the other day but was almost flat when I pulled in the driveway. Still, I take a charger with me where ever I go.

Here's a link to a really good site. I've met the guy who runs it at a car show this summer and got to see his home brew electric Geo.
Nice work.
This site has all the stuff you might want to know about the electric car.
