– Why do electric cars not have solar panels on rooftop so they could be charged while driving/parked
In: Engineering
They are about to be produced in the old Saab works in sweden by German company [Sono Motors](https://sonomotors.com/de/) very soon.
This car will be very light, and also very affordable at only 25’000€, the same price for many cars that size. On average, in Europe, including nights and shade, the solar panels give you 112km or range per _week_. If you consider that many people within a city will drive about 10-15km to work one way each say of the week, you’ve got them covered pretty well with just that. Even without any sun, it’s a cheap electric car with 300km range and quite some cargo!
