masonkayon Toyota testing improved solar roof for EVs that can charge while driving

Thanks for sharing the Sono Motors link. The Sion model is to be available in 2021 (or at least that is what I read on their website.) I like this practical little car with energy interface considerations at its core. Solar body panels can add up to 34km range per day, this seems to be a major incremental improvement to the EV model, I think.

Sticker price of 25.5k Euro (16k for base and est. 9.5k for battery) and they let you buy the battery separately or you can lease one. It seems it will be manufactured in Sweden (Trollhättan). I want to learn more about their (export) US market strategy. Needless to say I do like this SEV concept.

This is great, I have been waiting for an app like this! Though I've experienced the install hang-up on Win 10 Fall edition. I'll keep an eye on the update build.
