Ford has revealed a new solar-powered concept of its C-Max plug-in hybrid, ahead of a debut at next week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
The aptly-named C-Max Solar Energi Concept features a roof comprised of three solar panels, capable of charging the EV’s battery using “one day’s sunlight”.
Ford claims the Solar Energi can survive without ever using its ‘backup’ mains-powered plug, as one day in the sun is roughly equivalent to a four-hour battery charge.
