Mercedes is working on "solar paint" that could drastically reduce the need for charging
The company states that this groundbreaking solar paint is just five micrometers thick and weighs a mere 50 grams per square meter – practically weightless. Despite its...
The technology could potentially provide enough energy to power thousands of miles of driving annually, significantly increasing the range of electric vehicles while reducing the need for frequent charging stops during road trips. Mercedes claims that with an 11-square-meter surface area – roughly the size of a mid-sized SUV – the paint could produce enough energy to power up to 12,000 kilometers(7,456 miles) of driving annually under ideal conditions. Perovskites have demonstrated impressive solar efficiencies in laboratory settings and align with Mercedes' description of a cost-effective, non-toxic photovoltaic material free from rare metals and silicon.
