Plenty of people put there car outdoors but in places where solar on the ground is not feasible. I do. I leave my car for 3-4 days without using it. That is 18 hours of charge, that's a lot of energy.

Sure, so I suppose it can noticeably extend your time between charges if you rarely use your car, leave it outside in the sun for long periods of time, and don't have access to charging anywhere you regularly park your car. Seems like if that is the case though, an electric car isn't a great fit - regular access to charging is pretty critical unless you want to wait around at a charging station for an hour every time you need to fill up.
