Solar Panels for Electric Cars Will Be Offered Soon by EV Solar Kits. Check Out More Details About the Project and the Care with Crowdfunding
A company called EV Solar Kits launched today a sign-up list for a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo for a solar panel kit for electric cars, which would be an alternative to charging stations, which are still insufficient in most cases.
This is just one of the possibilities that engineering is bringing to help make electric cars more aligned with reality, which will considerably popularize them.
It is important, however, to understand how crowdfunding works, especially in this case.

What Are the Solar Panels for Electric Cars Offered by This Company Like?
The solar panels for electric cars offered by EV Solar Kits consist of 8 solar panels to be installed on the hood, generating 200 watts, and 8 stackable panels to be placed behind or beside the vehicle on a stand, generating an additional 200 watts each.
This kit also includes an inverter, a battery, a 220 outlet, two 110 outlets, and a USB cable.
According to the company that launched the crowdfunding, the solar panels for electric cars can almost completely replace charging stations, generating up to 2000 MW of solar energy, which would allow for driving up to 120 km per day.
Check out more details in the campaign video, bearing in mind that they are not yet collecting money but are only looking for emails from interested parties.
Despite all the efforts of companies like Tesla to provide charging for electric vehicles in many places, especially where there is no infrastructure, solar energy charging will ultimately be the best option for a vehicle to move.
This is because, by giving more autonomy to electric cars, they gain more freedom of movement, regardless of the need for a nearby charging station.
How Does Crowdfunding Work? Are They Already Selling the Kits?
Understanding how crowdfunding works is important because this is a format different from a sale or pre-sale, although it may seem similar.
In crowdfunding, companies that do not have capital try to raise funds to move projects forward, offering rewards to investors.
In other words, you are investing in the company’s idea and, in return, receiving a reward that may or may not be realized. This is different from making a purchase of a product that already exists.
Additionally, EV Solar Kits is not yet raising funds; it is merely launching a pre-campaign for crowdfunding, seeking emails from interested parties.
It is also important to note that all payments made on crowdfunding sites are considered donations, meaning you have no guarantees.
Many projects fail, and there are even people who simply try to scam on these platforms. So, be careful.
Furthermore, this is not the only kit of solar panels for electric vehicles being developed.
Companies like Hyundai, Tesla, Toyota, and many startups are also working on similar solutions.
There is even the possibility that, in the near future, electric cars may come with factory-integrated solar panels or with similar kits offered as giveaways.
Automakers are already studying the best places to install solar panels, which would allow the car to produce at least part of its energy, and this could be even greater with the potential for communication between your car’s energy and your home’s in the future.
