Ok, you win, it's 16.5 not 16. The 16 or 16.5 whichever you prefer is at 100% efficiency. Unless your proprietary panel is 300% efficient (makes energy out of nothing) it still doesn't support your claim that adding solar to a cart with 45 mile range will increase the range by 50% to 70 miles.

Look, I know what your claiming is impossible, just laying out some numbers with a basis to educate the less informed so they don't get sucked into the snake oiled flavored Kool aide that's being passed around.
