Nissan Put Solar Panels On An Ariya EV. Here's How Much Range They Add

  • Nissan’s built a one-off Ariya with solar panels that can add up to 14.3 miles per day in ideal sun, but far less in cloudier cities.
  • A sunny 50-mile drive generated roughly 0.5 kWh of power—roughly 2 miles of “free” range trickling into the battery.
  • Solar EVs still haven't taken off: Lightyear failed, Toyota and Hyundai's gains are small and Aptera’s launch timeline is uncertain.
