I've seen on Seedr this project overfunded:

At first I thought it was completely ridiculous wanted to solar charge the car and thought it may be some sort of scam.

But then I've seen so many buyers and investors and seen that Sion advertised themselves that the solar charging could only charge up to 30km/day with its 1.2kw solar panel.

And looking at why people buy... It seems that price is their strongest point. They suggest:
- a new electric car for €16k without battery
- battery purchased separately for €4k

From what I've seen so far, current battery cost are still quite expensive and for a 35kwh battery, they'd have to sell at €114/kwh, not including production/assembly/sales/maintenance cost.

Sounds a bit too cheap for battery? And the concept doesn't look sketchy?
