A comment on Toyota is trying to put solar panels on a Prius to charge battery during the day. Parent comment
It’s not “.7kW per hour”.
Watts is a measure of power, it’s already Joules/second.
You just want “.7kW”.
For 6 hours, you still won’t get 4kWh, because you need to adjust for less than ideal angle, and less than full sun days.
But if you got 3kWh on a good day, that’s still 10-12 miles of additional range.
