Fill up on sun – reduce costs

EVs are only as eco-friendly as the electricity that powers them, and solar power is one of the most cost-effective energy sources that homeowners have at their disposal right now. Anyone who produces the electricity they need themselves, meaning they are no longer subject to electricity price fluctuations, can reduce the total operating costs of their EV by up to 40 percent by combining a charger with solar panels. The charging solution and the solar storage system are coordinated in such a way that the electric car can be charged directly with surplus solar power.
