How Much Driving Range Can an EV Solar Roof Add?
Key Takeaways
- Fraunhofer reports photovoltaic cells producing about 19.5 watts per square foot under nominal conditions.
- A 21.5-square-foot roof would provide roughly 420 watts of peak power in the example.
- Fraunhofer estimates about 6.2 miles of range per day in peak summer sun.
- A Los Angeles Model 3 example estimates 10.3 daily miles before energy losses.
