This might clear up the confusion about London to Scotland trip by Edison:
"Edison’s vision was to make the longest-lasting battery in the world and the cars he built were a part of that quest,” said Mr Burrell. “He came from America to live in Dukes Street, in London, and built three cars, one of which he drove from Scotland to London, charging it up along the way. The final leg, 170 miles, has still never been beaten."
By the way, I also have solar panels and manage to both heat and A/C my house in the Middle Atlantic region with enough energy left over to run a Chevy Volt 20,000 miles/year. So you either need more solar panels or a better insulated house. Or maybe just a new inverter-driven heat pump.
