Hello;
I am looking to buy the following PACKAGE on the market, with a good
warranty and a proven record:
1. A QUALITY electric car with an easy REMOVABLE battery (by hand or
dolly). That way, I can charge a few batteries from a large
photovoltaic panel AT HOME while I drive the car. (no sense in
limiting my charging capacity by relying on a small photovoltaic panel
on the car's roof!)
2. A QUALITY photovoltaic panel(s)
Anyone driving the above and happy with it?

Lets say you have enough battery to hump out 20HP (15KW) for two
hours. Enough to drive 30 miles to work and back about. Thats 30KWhrs.
Thats about a dozen big ol Trojan 6V boogers at about 80 lbs each. And
you have to disconnect all those cables. What a big Pain in The
Patootie. And enough solar to put out 30KWhr in about 5hr would need
6KW of panels... $30K+... the Mother of All Battery Chargers

Which would require your car to be home (or at least wherever the solar
panels are) during daylight hours. For those of us who have daytime jobs and
need a commuter vehicle, that is a real deal killer!

It's simple. You buy two carts and drive them on alternate days.
They're cheap enough that buying two wouldn't run up the price
of the system all that much.
