Together with my girlfriend I’m planning a trip. Driving from the Netherlands to South Africa and back with an EV. We want to charge the car with solar panels we bring with us. See our website for more details: www.4x4electric.com

Challenge for now: how to charge the car with ~60m2 of flexible solar panels. We need a threephase offgrid solar system, but did not find a suitable solution yet.

Any ideas?

<dutch>Leuk idee!</dutch>

Perhaps it makes sense to have a chat with Solar Team Eindhoven/Twente/Delft? Or have a chat with the people at Lightyear. They have a lot of former teammembers.

Good idea! We are already in contact with Lightyear. They like our idea, but are to busy at the moment to be part of our project. We wil contact the solar teams!

That's a great idea, it might even lead to contact with potential sponsors for a trip like that.

Wow, that sounds like quite the adventure. Have a 'plan B' in place in case your gear gets damaged or stolen.

How long are y’all planning to do the trip for?

We think the total trip will take ± 1 year
