Here is a New E-Car for the Electric Guys. This vehicle is planned to start production in Sept. 21 in Trollhättan, Germany and the first models will be used for Type Approval, Customer Orders will start in 2022 - might be worth a read Dave 😉

“Thanks to 248 solar cells seamlessly integrated into the body, the Sion can charge its battery during the day through the power of the sun. In Germany, for example, up to 34 kilometers of additional range per day can be generated purely by solar energy. Full self-sufficiency on short distances.
It usually takes 30 minutes to charge up to 80% at a fast charging station. Additionally, the Sion can be recharged at any public charging station in Europe, including your regular power socket at home – or any other Sion. Thanks to a bidirectional onboard-charger, the Sion will be able to share its power to recharge other electric vehicles.”

My house faces south so my drive is in full sun for most of the day! Could be useful!

Gloucester, might be time to take a look. Sono seems to be advancing with their Prototype Vehicle that is being shown @ CES 2021. From a garage startup to a fully-fledged automotive new-entrant, Sono Motors shows @ CES 2021 to give an update on its Sion battery-electric vehicle (BEV) - Dave 👍

Well I've had a look but there's no mention of a RHD version.

Also I wonder what the insurance premium is going to be like with solar panels all over the car?

Size-wise it's not too bad - 4290 long, 1830 wide, 1670 high - approx Qashqai sized.

... but it's rather ugly!
