I hope that making quick charge a standard feature encourages more quick charge stations to be installed, but for now charging at home will be enough for me.
I like the idea of building solar panels into the roof and/or hood. Skipping this feature keeps the weight and price down, but I’d be willing to pay extra for it. Practically speaking, it probably makes more sense to install grid-connected solar panels somewhere like the roof of your house where their weight does not work against your acceleration, then plug the car into the grid wherever you park.

That way range would be unlimited.

Just a thought nissan….
