The conversion of solar energy into electrical energy is not really a new technology, but the only criticism is that the conversion efficiency is too low. Unless the area is large enough, the amount of electricity that can be used is very small. This is why electric vehicles equipped with solar panels have not yet become a reality. Many car companies thought about it for a long time, but gave up because the benefits were too small. Does Tesla have any new tricks for using solar energy? signs on Cybertruck vehicles?
In fact, among the vehicles currently on sale, the Toyota Prius has installed solar panels on the roof. However, according to their statistics, even if the vehicle is exposed to the sun all day, driving is difficult. the range will only be around 3.2 km, which makes it seem like solar carsres are a joke. Not only Toyota, but several manufacturers specializing in the development of electric cars such as Hyundai, Karma and Fisker have tried it. the solar panels are too low, so they finally abandoned this project.
In 2017, Tesla also thought about integrating solar panels into the roof of the Model 3. At that time, they gave up because the efficiency was too low, but now it is reported that they wish to integrate solar panels. in the roof of the Model 3. It is reported that such a device is placed on the Cybertruck because the roof of this vehicle is much larger than that of other vehicles and can integrate more solar panels. However, if you don't count the rear trunk, the roof of this vehicle is actually The roof is expected to be smaller than that of the Model 3.
There is currently no relevant information indicating how they will combine the Cybertruck with equisolar pements, and it is not yet clear how its appearance will change, but according to CEO Elon Musk, solar power is installed if the Cybertruck with A flat plate is exposed to enough sunlight, it can add about 24 km of autonomy to the vehicle every day. The author believes that this efficiency can be achieved by staying one minute longer at a super charging station.
Although the mass-produced version of the Cybertruck has not yet appeared, so we do not know the authenticity of this equipment, Tesla officials still set the delivery date for 2021, and nothing happened due to the new coronavirus pneumonia. Changed by influence, how will the Cybertruck appear in the end and what kind of new equipment will it have? Looking forward to the official release in 2021!
