Does having one of those solar collectors on the roof of your electric car really help extend the range? There's no place to plug in at work, and I just need a few more miles out of my batteries.

How heavy are they, and how much do they cost?

Hi, Karen!

Colorado Auto Connection sells a solar powered battery charger that you can put on top of your electric car to extend the range.

It's 32 pounds, around $2,000, and they say it will extend your range by 5 miles on a sunny day.

Lynne
