No need for charging in future electric vehicles.
The Swedish electric vehicle manufacturer Clean Motion has entered a
collaboration with Finnish Valoe Oy on the integration of highly efficient solar
cells in the roofs of the vehicles. "In a large part of the world, this solution will
eliminate the need for charging and truly deliver a green revolution!" says
Göran Folkesson, CEO of Clean Motion.
The collaboration between Valoe Oy and Clean Motion AB is based on the integration of Valoe's highly efficient
IBC cells (Interdigitated Back Contact) into Clean Motion's future roof modules.
Clean Motion performed tests with solar cell roofs in 2015, but then the technology was not mature enough. Since
then, the efficiency of solar cells has increased sharply, and in combination with Clean Motion's extremely energy
efficient vehicles, the technology is now commercially relevant. Soon, the goal is to have a vehicle with the range
of 100 kilometers per day from solar energy.
