    Charging at work via solar would be even better. If there was some way for businesses to be incentivised for it.

      I’d be curious just how much energy you’d get from this. I couldn’t imagine it would be very much. If the solar panels are on the roof and the roof is at least translucent then the efficiency would go way down. Not that i think an opaque roof would do a whole lot better though.

        …why would the roof be translucent? I can’t speak for anyone else, but exactly zero of the places I’ve worked have had naturally lit ceilings.

      Why would you need that ? That makes no sense. Unless you drive 350km a day for work. If that’s the case. Stop.

      You aren’t doing any favours for your job your health the planet.

      Get a train or public transportation. Shouldn’t be commuting hours to work. That’s just nonsense
