Ford and Nissan Partner with SunPower

SunPower and Ford Partner to Bring You Emission-Free Driving Fun
SunPower and Ford Motor Company have teamed up to offer Focus Electric and C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid owners a solar panel system that will provide electric vehicle owners enough renewable energy production to offset the energy used for driving.  This unique partnership offers owners the ability to charge their Ford Focus Electric vehicle, as well as future Ford electric vehicles using clean solar energy!
The 2012 Ford Focus Electric runs exclusively on electricity stored in powerful, state-of-the-art batteries. Thanks to SunPower’s new partnership with Ford, you’ll be able to drive completely emission-free and save on electricity costs with every charge. When you charge your Focus Electric with SunPower's most powerful solar panels on the planet you can maximize the miles, savings and environmental impact you get out of every charge.  Zero emissions and lower monthly costs, what a great combination!

Nissan LEAF Charges Up With SunPower
Nissan North America, Inc., and  SunPower Corp have partnered to help Nissan LEAF electric vehicle owners learn how a residential solar power system from SunPower can reduce their carbon emissions. Through this partnership, LEAF electric car owners will learn how to control the cost of charging their electric vehicles.

Brendan Jones, director, Nissan LEAF marketing and sales strategy states,  "SunPower is the leading manufacturer and installer of residential solar power systems in the United States, and offers the most efficient solar power technology on the market today. For example, a 2.5-kilowatt SunPower rooftop solar system may offset the power required to drive a LEAF about 10,000 miles a year. We are pleased to work with SunPower on this initiative, and look forward to a long partnership."
Nissan and SunPower are offering online information and video tutorials to show how solar power systems convert sunlight into clean, renewable power for use in the home as well as for charging electric vehicles.
