Key Points

Hyundai Motor Company has launched its first ever car with a solar roof charging system. In an announcement Friday, the business said that the technology would be used on the latest version of its Sonata Hybrid and then introduced to other vehicles over the coming years. Hyundai added that 30% to 60% of the car's battery could be charged using the solar technology. With six hours of charge per day, the vehicle could increase travel distances by 1,300 kilometers per year.

The vehicle is being sold in South Korea and will also be released in the North American market, although there are currently no plans to make it available in Europe.
