Located in Dallas Texas Hi Im selling my 2011 Nissan Leaf with solar powered supplemental battery system. Would be good for an off grid situation, because it can be charged entirely off its own solar panels. The car has 5 total solar panels that combined total 600watts. The power goes to a big battery and inverter system in the trunk, that allows you to charge the car off the 7064 watt hour 12v batteries in the trunk. The details are listed here, but there is also a YouTube channel dedicated to the build of this car, where you can find much more info. I bought it from the guy who built it and made this YT channel. The channel is (Innovative sustainable solutions) https://www.youtube.com/@InnovativeSustainableSolutions Car info 2011 Nissan Leaf Nissan Leaf with 66347 miles Replaced main EV battery with a used one with 10 bars of life left Clean blue Texas title Solar setup info The solar panels power a battery and inverter system in the trunk. The roof panels fold out revealing two more panels underneath. 4 roof Renogy 12v panels ran in parallel (175w, 160w, 100w, 100w). The one panel on the hood is a 65w.It has four 12 volt 1766 watt hour lithium phosphate batteries ran in parallelThe batteries are charged with a Renogy solar charge controller. The batteries are connected in parallel and connected to a 12v 4000w pure sine wave inverter. You can then charge the car’s main EV battery pack by plugging the cars charging cable, into the inverter. It car can be charged while the solar panels are charging the batteries, but it can NOT charge while driving. You can also charge the batteries in the trunk from a wall outlet, using an extension cord if you want.A small portable air conditioner is in trunk to keep batteries cool in the summer. It exhausts heat your rear door window. The air-conditioner is very low wattage and runs off the trunk batteries I am not the builder of this setup and the one who made the YouTube channel. I am the second owner since he built it. I can give you the builders contact, if you have any questions after buying it. Im asking $9000 for it. Im located in Dallas Texas.

That's awesome you're selling a solar-powered Nissan Leaf. I think it's a great idea to go green and save on fuel costs.
I’ve been thinking about getting an electric car myself, and a solar-powered one sounds even better. How long have you had it, and how has it been for you? Does it run well, and do you notice a big difference in your electric bill? I'm curious about the solar aspect – is it a big setup, or pretty easy to manage? I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in it, especially with the way gas prices are these days. If I wasn't already tied up with my current car, I'd definitely consider it.
