Solar charging system
This system generates solar power with the solar panel equipped to
the roof of the vehicle (solar roof).
●The hybrid battery (traction battery) is charged
* while parking.
After the solar power is stored in the solar battery, it is transferred
all at once to the hybrid battery (traction battery) to reduce the sys-
tem electrical consumption and charge the battery efficiently.
●The electrical consumption of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
reduced during driving.
The electrical consumption of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
suppressed increasing EV driving distance and fuel economy by
supplementing power consumption for the auxiliary systems using
solar power.
*: The maximum charge amount of the solar charging system is approxi-
mately 90% of the fully charged capacity for the charging from an external
power source.
: If equipped
A system that provides power to the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) and auxiliary systems by performing solar charging via the
large solar panel (solar roof) equipped on the vehicle roof.
Even when a parking lot does not have charging equipment and in
the event of a disaster, it is possible to charge
* the hybrid battery
(traction battery) without any special operations as long as sunlight
is available.
*: The charging amount via the solar charging system differs depending on
conditions, such as season and weather. Also, there is a limit on the
amount of charging possible per day. It requires at least approximately 10
days to charge to the maximum possible charging amount via the solar
charging system.
