Yes yes, yet another EV is revealed. Called the Sonos.
Executive summary if you don't want to watch the video:
Projected 250 mile range
Concept car now, but "delivery of the actual cars by the end of 2019"
You charge it normally, but it's also covered in solar panels which give it "about another 18 miles a day range" while it's just sitting about
You can plug in domestic electrical kit if you want to
Can tow
Can put power back to the grid
Has a weird moss in a box air filter...
Interestingly flexible load space/seating
Scratched the door mirror? You can 3D print parts for free.
"Ideal" for car sharing in cities, as it charges itself a bit in the street from the solar cells while waiting for the next person who is going to drive it ten miles and park it again, then it resumes charging.
Anyway, whether this thing or some variant of it ever comes to market remains to be seen, but there's some interesting ideas there.
