By focusing on charging accessibility, it is developing products engineered for individuals on the move with solar kits that can be attached to the rooftop of any EV. Additionally, EV Solar expects to roll out extendable solar panels kits for additional charging capacity while parked, perfect for long-haul travelers.  The company has already captivated over 100 EV owners with its kits, who have pre-ordered over $180,000 worth of rooftop and extendable kits specifically made for the Tesla Model Y and 3.

To fulfill its production needs, EV Solar has engaged a supply chain partner that plans to help expedite its initial go-to-market phase. It has also filed a provisional patent for the manufacturing, installation, and deployment of the kits (rooftop flex panels, extendable assembly, and solar generator).
