Range-Boosting EV Trailers

The Prototype Tesla Solar Range Extending Trailer Was Seen in Germany

— July 7, 2022 — Eco
The prototype Tesla Solar Range Extending Trailer was seen at the IndeenExpo in Hanover, Germany as a solution for electric vehicle drivers to help them enjoy extended range.

The trailer features a series of fold-out solar panels and battery packs within, which will greatly enhance the range of the driver. The trailer, although not the sleekest option for everyday use, shows distinct merit for the upcoming Tesla Cybertruck as a way for drivers to enjoy extended range off the grid.

The Tesla Solar Range Extending Trailer was spotted by Twitter user Tesla Adri and identifies what could be done to help electric vehicle drivers stay on the road for longer periods. The trailer is also paired with a Starlink satellite Internet receiver for connected off-grid camping.
