But even that number you say is realistic, about half of what I just said, would still give a little more than the "less than 10 miles under perfect conditions" - I still don't think it's really that practical or worth the cost for a number of reasons, but I also like crunching numbers to know what it would look like before making that judgment.

Curious, how did you get power from a solar panel into a high-voltage battery?

Wasn't me personally. Solar was tested by the university of Georgia iirc. And I'd assume some sort of DC boost converter to boost the 30v to 300v when connecting the panel to the battery pack
