Who said you couldn’t build your own Aptera-like solar EV?
DartSolar wants to sell you an expandable solar array for your EV. The Los Angeles-based startup claims the six-panel setup can add up to 20 miles of range per day. That's just from sitting outside in the sun. The name “Aptera” might ring a bell if you’ve been following the electric vehicle space for the past couple of years. The California-based startup has been working on a commercial solar EV or SEV for some time now.
This layout can reportedly be used all the time, including while driving. If more power is needed, the other four panels are on sliders and the array can be expanded–two in the front and two in the back. The panels are fitted to a lightweight aluminum frame and the whole thing, including the roof bars, weighs 87 pounds.
