福特在2014年CES消费电子展上发布了一款采用太阳能电池车顶的C-MAX Solar Energi概念车。这款有趣的概念车是一款插电混动车，它配备的电池组不仅可以通过电源插口充电，而且可以利用太阳能补充电能。它利用专门开发的集中器，其作用类似放大镜，将太阳光聚集到车顶内设置的太阳能板上。据福特公司介绍，一天的阳光照射可以使车辆行驶620英里（约合998公里），相当于城市/高速路/综合油耗达到108/92/100MPGe。福特表示，这款车行驶一年可以使尾气排放减少4公吨。

 

Ford unveils C-MAX Solar Energi concept with solar panel roof at CES

Ford has unveiled at 2014 CES the C-MAX Solar Energi concept equipped with a solar roof panel.

 

The interesting concept is a plug-in hybrid with a battery pack that can be charged not only from an electrical outlet but also from the sun's power. It uses a specially developed concentrator which acts like a magnifying glass to direct the sun's rays to the solar panels mounted on the vehicle's roof.

 

According to the Blue Oval company, a day's worth of sunlight can provide the vehicle with the same level of performance offered by the C-MAX Energi plug-in hybrid which can do 108 MPGe city / 92 MPGe highway / 100 MPGe combined and offer a range of 620 miles (998 km). Ford says using this vehicle would reduce annual gas emission by four metric tons per owner each year.
