Looks like solar bed covers will be here soon and good enough to cover some daily commutes:
“The TerraVis solar tonneau cover system consists of four monocrystalline foldable solar panels that have an output of approximately 1kW.
The system should be able to add 12 to 15 miles (20 to 24 km) of range to an electric pickup truck, which is 30% of the power needed for the average daily commute under optimal conditions.
The company has already forged original equipment manufacturer (OEM) supply partnerships with two EV Truck nameplates, one of which is in partnership with Nissan.
The TerraVis system is expected to cost less than 5% of the overall cost of a pickup truck.”

For a guesstimated $3,500, would you purchase this over the $10,000 max battery pack, assuming it was offered and available? Why or why not? (Get both, right…lol)
