Electric vehicle drivers can now top up their batteries even in the middle of nowhere — with a roof box that is actually a charger made of foldout solar panels.
The charger is said to deliver 1,200 watts of clean solar energy,
It fits in roof bars like a traditional roof box and is locked into position.
When needed the soft panels unfold and stretch from the boot to the bonnet.
All a driver has to do is then plug it in for a handy top up.
It has a 120-V output cable directly into the car's charging port for Level 1 charging straight from the sun.
US maker GoSun says the panels are designed to stay deployed through winds up to 50 km/h, while the closed box is built for highway speeds up to 160 km/h.
The charger weighs 32 kg and is just 12.7cm thick.
GoSun estimates a daily range boost of up to 50 km in the right conditions or 16 to 32 km on an average day.
