Basically its a roof rack solar panel with a battery inside (includes AC outlet), extra fold out panels that cover the length of the car, and a charge cable for the car. They're about $5000 USD and are shipping the first ones out in Q3 this year.

As someone who lives in an appt and commutes, this would make an electric vehicle much more viable as there is no charging stations in my building or at my work. I saw this and immediately began researching what vehicle models would be coming to Canada in 2028.

I've lived in multiple apartments with outdoor parking and fairly short commutes where this would have solved all of my weekly charging needs.

I also think about systems like this for camping and road tripping that I do. Extra power at the campsite is cool, and it would add peace of mind about not getting stranded.
