Charge a Tesla With Portable Solar Anywhere

Cool but too slow to be practical

super cool thanks

not practical having to charge battery to charge battery. If only EV had an input for charging directry from solar panels, .... an input socket that wold accept 80 to 450 V DC and inside the car there wold be a normal MPPT charger connected to de car battery BMS. That wold be a good idea this way you can really charge an EV directry from sun. No Jackery staff in between.

YES, you just need 500 hours of sunlight to recharge the 75KWh Tesla 😁😁😁
(75000KWh ÷ 150Wh= 500 hours)
So with optimistic 10 hours of daily sunlight, it take 50 days!
Just do it! Worth it all of the efforts! 😁

If I was traveling I would just go hiking and stay out at each spot for a day or 2. I’m excited because very soon solar vehicles will be more and more common. The biggest expense traveling is fuel. I love the idea of traveling for next to nothin!

If you charge with 500 watts it’s sooo inefficient. The loss of the transformer in the car will be 30% or so..

Bro teaching how to make tea

all you need now is a wind mill that cgarges when you drive,

When you come back to your parked car, will
there be any solar panels left? I dont think so.

!

In 24 years it will be fully charged

Did you say homemade almond milk?

Electrical engineer ???
You are only getting 160 watts out of $ 1000 worth of solar panels ????????????

Perfect...about time someone did a show n tell on this .
Great JOB !!!

So your DC solar is going into your battery, going to AC, than AC back to DC to charge the car. You are losing 50% efficiency bro

Love it 👌

Most annoying sound hearing someone drink

Roof folding solar panels, are they the future of cars? After unfolding, it can achieve 1500-2000 watts of solar charging power, with an average daily replenishment range of 30-50 miles.

This shows that Manufacturers Could do a Solar car. But it Wouldn't make Moneys for the MAFIAS gouvernments 😔 We need to keep paying all our lives for electricity or Gas.

Engineers are all the same LOL easily entertained.

Awesome TEST !

A 3500 watt portable Honda generator works best.

WHATSAP PARA PEDIDOS

I'm a huge fan of this. I'm surprised no one developed a product that could fold up into every Tesla owner's Frunk or Trunk that lays over the the car like a cover but filled with solar panels to charge the car when if it runs out of battery or you're on a camping trip.

Why not tow a trailer covered with solar panels.

So 2-3 miles per day? Lol

I do the exact same thing. I take a one week vacation just for this purpose. I pick a store front parking lot and spend my time there. Worth it.

I have a question. Can i just buy a jackery 1500 or whatever by itself no solar panels and charge it at home and then go charge my car with it?

If testla did make cars with solar panels pretty sure it would attract criminals

I’ll stick to my Ford Super Duty F450 diesel @ 8 mpg.

All this for 6 Miles 😮 🙄😕😟

Not at all practical - but a fun science experiment

I rather keep my gasoline vehicle lol cost me 20 bucks a week for work .

Stop the madness. For those who don't know much about solar, this is a terrible idea and a waste of your time. Those portable panels are usually inefficient. The best you're going to get per 100w panel for the entire day is ~400wh. 400w x 4 = 1,600wh. A Tesla will get about 4 miles per kilowatt so your best case scenario is 6 miles. Nobody is going to sit their Tesla out in the sun all day with 4 portable panels sitting like that. I mean, you can just set those panels elsewhere and use it to charge your power station and bring that power station with you in case of emergency but to hook all that up is a big waste of time. He knows this is a waste of time. He made the video so it can get clicks and he's successful at that.

All day charging for 3 additional miles? Ugh, yeah. I filled my half empty car yesterday and got 120 extra miles in a few minutes.

Yes you can travel 500meters if you charge for 24 hours 👍🏼

Can you try to use magnifying lens for solar panels ?

Please do video again when you have full sun.

To the OEM people who build these solar cells. Please make a form factor to have them fit for Teslas please.
Also I do not think the charge rate for solar will be that much since the top of the car has UV blocking.
Would be nice to know what light range these solar cells need because if they charge off of light that is not in the UV spectrum then these would work fine under the glass.

While I am considering a Tesla... it bothers me that an owner even needs to think about jumping through these hoops... Isn't it easier to just pop into a gas station and fill up in less than 4 min?

This is why people are hesitant with EV's... I mean... multiple solar panels, battery packs, cables everywhere... just to get 20 miles of range in a day?

Also, you can try this at home.
I
You’re not gonna get fried to death on This output.
However, I like people not knowing that because I can set a panel on my car and no one’s touches it.
Just leave 1000w labeled items everywhere. 😂

All this waiting around no thank you you can keep it

It will take a month to charge it.

"And oh, if you're gonna buy a Tesla......." NOPE.

What am I doing with my life

Just epoxy flex panels on the roof add epoxy weather proof liner around the panels and they will look seamless on the Tesla. Another issue is the Tesla study on super charging battery degradation and charging in general. My thought is this will definitely degrade the battery faster since you will have to charge your battery more frequently and will degrade the battery faster. They are finding out now that ride share teslas are dying in a year when in theory Tesla states that the battery can last up to 300k mikes or more. Why are ride sharing batteries dying at 100k? Because they charge one to three times a day. So don’t believe a study issued by the company that sells the car in the study. 😂

I will have some tea please hold the sugar 👍🏾

It's funny that someone would waste that much money on solar panels that cannot yield to the point of full charge our best technology right now on solar panels is 1 KW per square yard he's going to be there for days if he was on empty trying to get a charge and despite the advertisement they can't get past the physics when it comes to solar panels that's why so many solar farms in California have been around for over 20 years only because they've been subsidized by the government and let alone the fact at the time you get them paid off guess what they need replacing again

This is essentially what Aptera is doing with their EV. It weighs about half what a Model 3 does, was designed with total efficiency in mind, and has enough built in solar panels to generate about 25-30 miles of range per day.

For many folks with short commutes, this would be totally sufficient, and allow them to drive almost entirely off solar power.

Rich Rebuilds reviewed an early prototype about a year ago, and Donut just did a review of a near production ready model. These things are awesome (if you don’t mind a 2 seater and some pretty crazy styling) and start around $30k. Would really like to see them succeed.
