Currently, the electric car market is becoming more and more important, and has been for several years. The reason is financial incentives from the government, as well as restrictions on movement in the VZ. But it’s also thanks to more and more choice for motorists, while all manufacturers are getting involved. But certain aspects still deter potential buyers, such as price and autonomy. And that’s even though things are getting better and better in both cases thanks to the brands’ progress in these areas.

In the second quarter, it is 1/3 of transactions.

Miracle movie
Today, many cars can drive more than 400 kilometers on one charge, which will greatly reassure drivers. But for some, this is still not enough, while many are afraid of not finding a charging station to charge their car battery. But now a group of German researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute had an idea: to create a body film with amazing properties. The goal? Increase the range of electric vehicles. But how ? In fact, the explanation is unusual, but very simple: this coating consists of photovoltaic elements.
Small solar panels
Specifically, this film for gluing cars allows them to do this turn into a giant solar panel. The sheet is made of aluminum, which allows you to choose the right color to adapt it to the car, even if it is black, as in the test carried out by scientists. According to calculations, this system would save up to 4,000 kilometers of autonomy per year by covering the roof as well as the hood. The latter can also be useful for thermal cars to power the accessory battery.
