The ultimate goal will be,
. . . to travel coast-to-coast, completely on solar electricity,
. . . but that won't occur until after the next round of upgrades to both the,
. . . solar array and the battery bank.

Phase 2, will replace the lead-acid battery bank with a
. . . 32 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery bank, boosting the range per charge to
. . . 100 miles) while dropping,
. . . 500 pounds of weight from the bus. I

A new 6 KW folding solar array, made from lighter solar modules,
. . . will replace the current array, giving the upgraded vehicle a potential
. . .150 mile solar range per day.
