Episode description

Francie and Jordan sit down to discuss what role solar roofs play in EVs and EV charging. They discuss companies like LightYear, Aptera, Toyota, and Fisker and how they all offer a solar panel EV product, how solar isn’t compatible with extended range yet, and where they think solar fits into the EV space effectively.
