Mahalo my dudes. We have an EQC at home and while the Mrs gets free charging at her work, she’s currently on baby duty and the car still does a lot of miles so the cost has shot up dramatically. We’re also assuming this won’t last forever. The front of the house is full sun all day, and we’re high up and over to the North West and the wind is also insane.

I’ve tried Googling this to no avail. Are there any solar panels or wind turbines that I can just mount somewhere, that come with a cable to plug straight into the car or my existing charge cable, probably via a box or something, It seems really simple but not something on offer? Electrics are super not my area so any answers please pretend I’m 6 years old.

It blows a gale here all day at least twice a week so even if it’s just a small one that trickle charges and takes hours I’d happily just leave it sat spinning and doing the job. The car does mileage but all at once and is sat up quite a lot of the time.
