GoSun EV Solar Charger: The Greenest Way to Charge Electric Cars

>> Back to September 2024 Issue

In recent years, electric vehicles (EVs) have gained significant traction as a more sustainable and independent mode of transportation. As the demand for EVs continues to grow, so does the need for reliable and efficient charging solutions. Some have criticized that since most power plants use fossil fuels, one is simply trading emissions. However, GoSun is providing a true solar solution with our innovative EV Solar Charger.

Introduction to the GoSun EV Solar Charger

The GoSun EV Solar Charger is a breakthrough in EV charging technology that offers an array of benefits for both EV owners and the planet. This portable solar-powered charger harnesses the power of the sun to help charge your electric vehicle up to 30 miles a day. Self-charging is better than waiting for a supercharger or charge station.

A four foot by four foot rooftop box is mounted to your vehicle’s roof rack to travel anywhere you go. When the vehicle is parked, the box opens to unveil 1,200 watts of flexible solar panels that cover the vehicle’s footprint and onboard electronics send solar power to the car’s battery. GoSun’s innovation has received rave reviews from companies like Auto Evolution and Clean Technica. It’s seen viral activity with over 7 million views on instagram, generating over 1200 sales or over $3 million in pre-orders.
