14 DAY TRIAL // The benefits of the union between solar power and the industry of green vehicles made the officials of major companies implement this strategy into their future plans, expecting that this new junction will considerably increase their profit margins.
If Ford managed to seal the deal with the representatives from SunPower earlier this year, in August, now it is time for Nissan to prove its interest towards this green match made in eco-heaven.
After Ford agreed to sign with SunPower, the company benefited from an innovative option: a 2.5-kilowatt rooftop solar system which responded to your Ford plug in car's needs of power.
While Ford's deal implies an actual earth-friendly strategy of powering your car, Nissan's partnership provides more information, at this point in time, offtering the officials "new online content, including a video tutorial that describes how solar power systems convert sunlight into clean, renewable power for use in the home and for charging electric vehicles."
So, once they are guided towards the advantages of this new field of activity, representatives from Nissan will be able to implement the breakthroughs into a new line of earth-friendly vehicles which will rely on solar power while displaying their owners' eco-conscious attitude.
There is no other way of getting closer to the benefits of using an alternative source of energy to power up your car, since your own roof gives you this opportunity.
"Nissan LEAF owners are conscientious about their energy use, and it makes sense for them to understand how they can offset the power that their all-electric LEAF requires with clean, renewable solar power generated from their own rooftop," said Brendan Jones, director, Nissan LEAF marketing and sales strategy, NNA.
The people who are interested in making this genius technology their best new best friend can visit the SunPower site, which offers its buyers the option to purchase a rooftop solar system that will allow them to power up their electric vehicle at home, regardless of the brand of their car.
Nissan keeps the costs of this operation secret, but the competition didn't struggle to make this matter private, so Ford's “Drive Green for life” program is worth approximately $10,000.
Despite the rather prohibitive costs, it is an investment which will most likely please a wide range of individuals who share green values. The option of purchasing a solar array to power our electric vehicles is certainly an investment which will be recouped in no time.
