As the table shows i spent almost 5 hours at the chargers but 2 hrs of that was at a city l2 charger in downtown slo so shouldn t count.
Rear roof spoiler with solar cells.
Hi guys how about a rear solar panel spoiler to help out with the daily driving power equipment like a c lights etc and a roof panel to continuously charge the battery either driving or just sitting parked under the sun.
As with any solar panel electricity generation will be impacted if panels are not exposed to direct sunlight.
Did you know the nissan leaf electric vehicle has a solar panel on the rear spoiler.
Solar power roof available on limited trim only.
Coming back was a bit rougher as the charge times were 2x longer but i just took naps i left at 5am to make the 160 miles to slo by 10am so.
Based on it s size i d assume the amorphous solar panel is only generat.
It wasn t so bad stopping for the half hour charges i got out walked 5 10 minutes and grabbed a snack each time.
Even if net effect is small say 1 mile of range with 10 hours of direct sun light city dwellers with street parking would get a minimal range.
Additional drivable miles per day may vary.
About 700 extra miles per year when exposed to 6 hours of sunlight daily.

1k add an option where the entire roof is a pv panel which feeds the main battery.
