Solar
Charge from your own roof
A 6.4 kW solar canopy over two parking spaces produces about 26 units of electricity on a clear Lagos day, enough for 160 km. In harmattan haze it drops by about a third.
Most owners combine solar by day with the grid by night. With Home Link, the car can also store the sun’s energy for your evening lights.
