A couple of years ago Curioscarbon discussed putting solar panels on cars in the “Can the electrical grid handle a boom in electric vehicles “ topic thread. Well someone actually did just that! No more WAG on estimating range either. They installed nine 175watt solar panels on to the Tesla which can produce about 6kwh of power collected off a good sunny day resulting in an additional 20miles range.
Very Interesting! Funny I keep thinking I could use this approach for a Mad Max or Dune vehicle.
Here’s a link to the website that details this effort, with pictures too.
