What’s coming to EVs? Solar Truck Beds

The companies working on solar panels in and on truck beds? Worksport, a Toronto-based manufacturer of pickup-truck accessories

How could it work?

  • bed-mounted batteries
  • stored energy to power appliances and tools at jobsites, campsites…

Will the solar panels only work in EV trucks? No, traditional fuel and hybrid trucks could also have solar power truck beds

Are there power generation estimates? On the Cybertruck, Elon Musk estimates 15 miles of range per day.
