Solar panel for electric cars will be offered soon by the company EV Solar Kits. Check out more details of the project and care with crowdfunding
A company called EV Solar Kits today launched a crowdfunding interest list in indiegogo site for a kit of solar panels for electric cars, which would be an alternative to charging stations, which are still not enough in most cases.
This is just one more of the possibilities that engineering has been bringing to help make electric cars more consistent with reality, which will considerably popularize them.
It is important, however, to understand how crowdfunding works, especially in this case.

What's being offered is more of an investment with rewards than a purchase, so it's not like you're already going to get your solar panel kit for electric cars in 15 or 20 days.

How are the solar panels for electric cars offered by this company?
The solar panels for electric cars offered by EV Solar Kits are made up of 8 solar panels, to be installed on the hood, which generate 200 watts and another 8 stackable panels, which are placed behind or on the side of the vehicle, on a support, generating more 200 watts each.
This kit also has an inverter, a battery, a 220 socket, two 110 sockets and a USB cable.
According to the company that opened the crowdfunding, solar panels for electric cars can almost completely replace charging stations, generating up to 2000 MW of solar energy, which would run up to 120 km per day.
Check out more details in the campaign video, remembering that they are not collecting money yet, but just looking for emails from interested people.
Despite all the efforts of companies like Tesla to offer charging for electric vehicles in many places, especially when there is no infrastructure, solar energy charging will end up being the best option for the vehicle to move around.
This is because, by giving electric cars more autonomy, 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 different format than a sale or a pre-sale, although it looks like that.
In collective financing, companies that do not have capital try to capitalize to move projects forward, offering rewards to investors.
That is, you are investing in the company's idea and in return getting a reward, which may or may not come true. What is different from making a purchase of a product that already exists.
Furthermore, EV Solar Kits is still not raising funds, it is just opening a pre-campaign for crowdfunding, seeking e-mails from interested parties.
It is also important to point out that all payments made on crowdfunding sites are considered donations, that is, you have no guarantee.
Many projects go wrong, or there are still people who simply try to scam these platforms. So beware.
Furthermore, this is not the only solar panel kit for electric vehicles being developed.
Companies like Hyundai, Tesla, Toyota and many startups have also been working on similar solutions.
There is even the possibility that, in the near future, electric cars will already come with factory-integrated solar panels or with similar kits offered as gifts.
Automakers are already studying the best places to place solar panels, which would make the car produce at least part of its energy, and this could be even greater, with the chance of communication between the energy of the your car with your house, in the future.
