A solar powered car seems unlikely in the UK.

Dunno, solar tech is increasing apace (was reading an article this morning about nanotubes doubling their capacity at low light) - also ememebr that you don't need enough power to power it in real time, just enough to charge up your batteries while you are in work.

I'm going to get a camel instead of a horse. It'll last a bit longer when the water runs out.

Ahh the old Petrol vs Diesel argument now applied to Horse vs Camel. I wonder if the A3 camel will still be for hair dressers?

You can't get better than 100% no matter how much the technology improves, there's only so much energy in sunlight and only for so long in the day. If it were that good and you carried high capacity batteries it might be better to charge the batteries from the mains (or panels at home) rather than carry large solar panels around that would also have to be optimally aligned to the Sun.
