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.
On what planet are you unfurling this thing in a parking lot… Anywhere I would feel secure enough to use it id rather just set someone up for a quarter the price and way less of a footprint.
Earth. Since it doesn’t exist yet we don’t know how or will work but I’m already setting up sun shades on a sunny day. I don’t park where vandals are a problem so if I can set it up in a minute for my several hours inside them it doesn’t have to give much range to be useful.
