Default Solar charger

I was thinking (I know, dangerous) that it would be a good mod for the TCH to have a few small solar panels placed on the rear deck. When you park your car, it would be charging the traction battery. I suppose you would even get a slight charge while you are moving too.

Since the battery pack is right under the rear deck, you would not have to run wires very far.

I suspect that someone has already though of this...A little bit like a plug-in hybrid.

I wonder if some enterprising modder has thought of this yet?
