GoSun’s Patrick Sherwin talks with Andrew about his company’s innovative Solar EV Charger
Just as electric vehicles are seen as a sustainable solution to the world’s transportation needs, solar energy is considered essential to achieving our planet’s clean energy needs. Which makes the combination of the two seem only natural. That’s certainly what GoSun founder and CEO Patrick Sherwin thought, and the result is a clever, roof-mounted and expandable solar power panel that plugs directly into the vehicle that is carrying it.
It’s an obvious solution for off-grid camping, van lifers and work sites, but it’s also an elegant solution of using the sun’s rays to charge up your car’s battery pack. And while true that adding 50 or so kilometres with a day-long charge doesn’t replace good old Level 2 or Level 3 charging, the Solar EV Charger is a great example of the continuing innovation in the clean energy and electric vehicle segments.
