One weekend morning, I saw a short mention of some 'roll-up' solar panels that were being tested for charging EV's that were on camping trips. I believe this was being done somewhere in Australia. I haven't seen anything else about it since then.
Now I personally don't drive my car a lot and have a level 2 setup in my garage, which is more than adequate for my needs. I was wondering if ANYBODY out there makes any kind of unit that would have only one or two solar panels and a smaller battery with the proper electronics to use just for charging your car? That way you could be completely independent of the grid. I live in an area where we have a lot of sunshine.
I have seen some setups similar to this idea, but they only provide 12 volts. Maybe there are others that do have an 120 volt output, but I just haven't seen them. I am NOT looking to put the whole solar panel thing on most of my roof, for my own personal reasons. Has anybody here seen what I am talking about?
