    I think you are confused.

    Volts * Time != Watts

    EV Battery Capacity is measured in Watt Hours, not Watts.

    If you had 1500 Watts Hours in an EV Battery… that’d be about 1/10th a charge of the earliest EVs with roughly 10 kWh batteries and less than 1/100th of the CyberTruck’s approximately 123 kWh battery pack.

    Yes, 3 to 4 smaller consumer grade solar panels … really more like 8 to 10… can have a cumulative energy production of 1500 Watt Hours…

    But Watts are not Watt Hours. And 1500 Watt Hours is an extremely small amount of energy in terms of an EV.

    I entirely do not mean to be a dick here, I’m genuinely curious as to what you are actually trying to describe.
