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.
My wife is putting sun shades on the window everytime she parks so this is effort she would do anyway. Except she is to short to make this work with the minivan. Most of her trips she isn’t going fast enough to see a range hit from aerodynamics, and the van doesn’t have much range so she often is on has the last two miles home. So this could work for her if only it wasn’t so high to the van roof.
