Consumer Reports just rated the Tesla Model S with the highest score ever, 99 out of 100. Electrical vehicles are overtaking conventional vehicles in terms of power, handling, aesthetics, and ergonomics.

But don’t rush to the auto dealership just yet. While our grid may be cleaner than most, it’s still comprised of over 40% coal and natural gas, i.e. nonrenewable fossil fuels.

By combining a solar system with an electric vehicle, you can drive completely on clean, free energy from the sun. If you already have a solar system, you can add an additional 2 – 3 kW of solar (depending on your driving habits) to cover the energy needed to power your car!

Keep a lookout at your local Ford dealership for the Ford/SunPower partnership, allowing you to acquire a 2.5 kilowatt rooftop system in conjunction with an electric Ford Focus.

So, what does this mean solar fans? More solar electric for sure. Who needs a drop of gas if the sun is charging your car, your motorcycle and your electric bike? Less oil to buy from overseas and less pollution here at home AND all the $$$ that went overseas now stays here making our economy stronger. So buy more solar so Solar Forward can be the first solar company with an all electric fleet of cars and trucks!
