16. A full battery charge would take around 2KW of solar
For those of you in the SouthWest you could bring the batteries from 0 to 9.5KWH with a 2KW solar PV array once a day. Granted you would have to park the car all day at the array. Or more likely store the energy in another battery at the house and use it to charge the car when you get home. Installed your looking at around $20,000 and then never having to buy gas if you stay within the 30 mile range.
