Basically its a roof rack solar panel with a battery inside (includes AC outlet), extra fold out panels that cover the length of the car, and a charge cable for the car. They’re about $5000 USD and are shipping the first ones out in Q3 this year.

As someone who lives in an appt and commutes, this would make an electric vehicle much more viable as there is no charging stations in my building or at my work. I saw this and immediately began researching what vehicle models would be coming to Canada in 2028.

    I just priced it out for a solar generator:

    Generator with 2kWh of storage capacity: $899

    200W solar panels: $379 each

    As far as I can tell, that means I can get basically the same capacity for $2800, just over half the price of this gosun product. There are different pros and cons but I’m not seeing the value proposition here.
