I didn't know he has a "real" qualification.
I get pretty cheesed off with celebs thinking their opinion matters on subject they don't understand.
It makes a change to read an articulate, rational assessment by someone with a qualification in the subject.

didn't see the link .. thought you were talking about the idiots in the sub .. yeh Ironic - in spades
" Two Italian researchers died after a hybrid car prototype that was being developed with EU funds exploded during a road test.
The researchers were working on the Life-Save project that aimed to turn cars with conventional combustion engines into hybrid vehicles, running at least partly on solar energy. "
was a mob in France developing an electric conversion for conventional cars, where they swapped the engine for a motor and retained the gear box ... IIRC they had several prototypes and hoped to be commercial by the end of this year.
would come as a kit for selected trained ctrs to swap over. No mention of a DIY kit though
not heard much about it lately

HTF could this be patented???
" Its patented idea was to equip regular production cars with additional electric motors, charged by a battery and solar panels fitted on the roof and the bonnet. " .. sounds pretty old hat/hybrid to me
someone's been doing nicely out of it though
" The project was financed by the European Commission's Life Programme and has received about €1.8m (£1.55m) since 2017. "

Don't complain - suggest what's better
I think you answered you own question about patents - they don't actually care, they are just making a good income from the subsidy money. If it eventually works then the EU will probably pay them more to subsidise the cost to market and if it doesn't they will get more grant to carry on the research. Isn't that how this green stuff works?HTF could this be patented???
