Re: GM's journey from Volt to Bolt

What is the battery voltage rated at? Could a flexible Solar panel be afixed to the roof and run it through a charge controller to keep the battery charged on long trips in the daytime?
I have a small tow company in Southern California and get lots of cars and trucks that do not get reclaimed. I have gone on craigslist and offered to trade a car or truck for an Electric vehicle. No one responded yet. If they do I'll expirement with using solar to charge the electric car. I have 30 solar panels on my house and 10 on my garage workshop and use them on the shop to charge batteries through a Tristar 60 solar panel. It works good at charging and the batteries last longer.
