Nissan introduces a solar electric vehicle: 3000 km range per year without charging.

According to Korrespondent.net: Nissan has announced an innovative solution for electric vehicles called Ao-Solar Extender. This system uses solar energy to recharge cars. As reported by Carscoops, the technology will be demonstrated at the Japan Mobility Show, where it will be installed on the urban electric car Nissan Sakura.

Technology description

The solar module consists of a box located on the roof, with a panel rated at 300 W. While parked, an additional panel rated at 200 W is extended, forming an effective energy collection system. According to the manufacturer's calculations, this will provide up to 3000 km of free range per year.

Research from the company showed that most Sakura owners undertake short trips, indicating the possibility of significantly reducing the need for external charging with the new technology.

Additional advantages

Among other benefits is the sunshade function, which reduces cabin heating and saves energy for air conditioning. In case of emergencies, the Ao-Solar Extender can serve as a backup power source.

As Nissan notes, the system is designed not only to reduce dependence on the electrical grid but also to demonstrate that solar energy can become a true source of mobility for urban electric cars.

It recalls that recently it was reported that the Chinese company Chery introduced a new battery for electric vehicles that provides a range of up to 1300 km.

Record earnings for Tesla
