This roofrack-mounted EV Solar Charger is by clean energy company GoSun. You unfurl it once parked, taking advantage of your car’s footprint to soak up the maximum amount of sunlight (and keeping your vehicle a bit cooler).
The company says the 1,200-watt charger can add 10-20 miles of range per day, and “up to 30″—but curiously, they don’t mention how long it has to be charging to produce those figures: Eight hours? Twelve hours?
The 70-lb object can be installed on a standard roof rack, the company says, in 20 minutes by two people.
The asking price is $3,000, “potentially eligible for 30% tax credit.” The company is taking pre-orders now, and expects to ship next year.
