Sono Solar Truck Trailer

Interesting video - I thought Sono had gone bust?

Also doubly interesting little mini-aside in there about the Fisker Ocean - as we know about 10,000 of them were built before Fisker went bust for the 2nd time, but it seems there has been a concerted effort to make sure that they can stay running.

Hi Dan, not bust per se. I think they couldn't get enough money to risk going into production with the Sion car (with PV built into all the panels), but they came close with a finished design prototype. But they'd developed good tech, and had lots of interest in their PV panelling.

So, they decided to focus on the PV panel side, and give up on the car.

Not sure why, but I've really become quite fond of this company and the Sono Sion, and I hope they do well.
