Yet you conveniently omit any reference to the EROEI of the battery system which powers these solar powered cars. Now, considering that a battery doesn't actually create energy and is a technology which simply enables the time-shifting of solar produced energy, to measure the system you have to borrow EROEI from the solar panels, meaning that you're seriously diminishing the EROEI of solar in order to get the time-shifting capacity to use its power anytime and anywhere, something that you don't have to do with gasoline.
