Ford unveiled a new concept car called the Ford C-MAX Solar Energi. This car has solar panels on the roof that can almost completely supply the energy that used to be provided to the car by plugging it in to a charger. These panels use a Fresnel lens, which captures eight times the energy of a normal solar panel. Each, day, these rooftop solar panels can provide about as much energy for the car as a four hour battery charge. It is possible that the C-MAX Solar Energi could be made into a production car within the next few years.
