I don’t know about your state, but here in California, drivers only have one more month to get all the hands-free devices they need because come July, talking on a cell phone while driving is grounds for a ticket and a stink eye from highway patrollers.

For all you Bluetooth users or soon-to-be Bluetooth converts, LG has a greener solution: the Solar Bluetooth Car Kit. Mount this light-weight box to your windshield and you’re good to go…and talk. Holding enough charge for 16 hours of talk time, the kit can get 1 hour of talk time for every 2 hours of exposure. Plastic clasps keep the box angled at the sun so you can careen around corners without loosing light. And say you do have to sit through a storm and need some juice, there is the old-fashioned cigarette lighter charger option. Plus, with it only weighing 72 oz, you can move it from car to car.

However, Californians, and indeed most Americans, are going to have to wait a bit, since this kit is only being released in Europe for £55-£65. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before it’ll be available at your local big box electronics store.

For now, feel free to drool over photos and check out how it works.
