Solar Charging for Tesla

[Raj Giandeep]

Did a video interview with EV Solar Kits and their option for charging a Tesla model 3. Even while driving from the sun. Chatted about the possibility of tweaking their design for Aptera. Good interview & some good nuggets not mentioned on their website. I put chapters in the video if you want to see what he has to say about Aptera. He’s excited about it & even pre-ordered one!

Interesting after market product. would fit the stated desire of many on the Forum. Thanks Raj.

I could see having an accessory solar panel as part of the large flat rear cargo space that would lift and slide out resulting in a similar setup to the rear extension shown in the Tesla aftermarket product. Slide it back in, roll the carpet back over it when done. The carpet could have a light ‘structural rigidity’ similar to a rolling rigid pickup truck tonneau cover. This could double the solar capacity. Not a product for everyone but a niche add-on. Could be a nice item for boondock camping as you “Aptera” on a budget across the country on your return from picking up your new vehicle in Carlsbad!
