Centrica installs solar panels on electric vans to prevent battery drain and ensure vehicle operability.

Centrica, a UK electric van operator, has partnered with Genie Insights to prevent "bricking" in electric vehicles by installing solar panels on the vans' roofs. These panels provide a trickle charge to the 12-volt batteries, ensuring the vans remain operational even when idle. This solution aims to avoid vehicle downtime and better serve customers, with plans to implement it across 2,500 vans in Centrica's fleet.
