\nNothing gets greener than an electric car that drinks juice from solar panels! We all know just how eco-friendly these electrics are, and hooking one onto a solar panel to charge up makes it a true-green way to transport indeed. Radio DJ Mark Goodier is now the first Briton<\/a> to power up his electric with the help of solar panels. The 49-year-old owns the fully electric Nissan Leaf<\/a> and has latched on 12 solar panels on the roof of his house that soak in enough from the sun to power up his car. The car takes around 8 hours to charge up and Goodier leaves it plugged in over the night and wakes up to a fully-charged electric car that delivers him a range of 100 miles on a full charge. The DJ did spend a good amount on the panels, about \u00a312,500, though the government will pay him \u00a31,200 per year for 25 years for the solar panels.<\/p>\n
\nPerhaps, Mark Goodier has struck upon the greenest way to get around on four wheels, and the idea seems practical enough for most car owners to adopt!
