Solar bodywork supercapacitor is dream for EVs
IDTechEx report, ‘Solar Vehicles 2021-2041’ notes that cars with solar bodywork have long-range. Tough sell. Even longer range is being achieved by those crudely shoving in an enormous battery. The real significance is that Lightyear and Sono Motors cars with solar bodywork achieve range with half the battery and, for the gentle, never suffer a charging point.
