Most PV efficiencies are 18% or lower. Spectrolab, a Boeing subsidiary, has recently produced non-concentrated terrestrial PVs at over 38% (theoretical limit about 45%) Now these cells on a car and you start talking about a range boost. The US printed money is paying for these advances, usually. Then there are the advances in Thermal PVs, using heat rather than light to capture energy. So, a parked car in a shaded carpark/garage, at negative temps will still be able to recharge a car  . Just better on a hot day above a tarmac  |
