Ford to Sell Solar Panel System Alongside Electric Cars

Ford Motor Company is teaming up with San Jose-based solar panel maker SunPower to offer a rooftop solar system option which will be sold alongside the upcoming Ford Focus EV. The "Drive Green for Life" program, as it's being called, involves mounting solar panels on a customer's home. These panels wouldn't be used just to charge the Focus itself, however. They actually help offset the cost that comes with having to charge the car, something which most electric car owners do every night.
