Toyota to take car-installed solar pannels to the next level


I've always wondered why EVs haven't done this in the past...for a trickle charge at the least...

Solar energy is considered to be one of the cleanest and also renewable electricity sources. More and more people are therefore deciding to set up solar power stations on the roofs of their homes, because they can supply electricity to their own household, as well as cars. In so far as the electric car is, of course, the biggest energy user in the house, which would make it quite practical to put solar cells on them as well, thereby increasing their autonomy.
