Mercedes is aiming for an option around 2024

In an interview with Autoblog, Markus Schäfer from Mercedes revealed that in the future, customers will be able to choose between a glass roof, a closed roof and a solar roof; it is expected to start in 2024.

Incidentally, with the EQXX, the solar roof is not used to pack energy back into the battery, the energy gained operates the infotainment system, the air conditioning and such things (but both should be possible at Mercedes).

Solar roofs do not necessarily increase the range massively, sometimes you also lose energy, for example, if you have to cool the car down again because it was in the sun, but they can provide added value.
