Yeah how many people want to park their car in the sun all day long?

The better way is parking it in a garage of small to large size, that has solar on the roof, with a much bigger surface area, that you could plug into.

Another bad part is that since solar is still in heavy innovation phases, you'd need to be able to swap out panels for replacement and newer tech so there would need to be standards there or else it becomes highly cost prohibitive. It would add so much to testing that it would add layers of cost. This would also limit design options and weight.

Even when efficient, you still want to park your car in or under a cover/garage. That is the best place to put the panels because noone wants a hot car.
