you know now we pollute the earth with gas and destroying the ozone but also gas is exspensive and soon gas will run out and we wont have it anymore so solar power is a good idea.
that is more then with everything i have
They’d need to make solar cells far more efficient at converting to useful power than what they currently are and then there are other hurdles to overcome with regard to performance ..still it’s a start but a long way to go..could be a matter of keep walking until you reach the horizon perhaps?
The affordable, efficient solar powered car will have some pretty stiff competition from the flying pig, which will debut in the same year.
i’m willing to give off $100,000 if i can get a solar powered JEEP.
it was 700K for an ugly ass car, ur not gonna find a jeep-looking solar car for 100K. It’d cost millions, ted.get reeeeeeeeeal
It is exactly this kind of videos that are doing damage to the real electric car industry by reducing electric powered cars to mere superexpensive toys.This is the data of a real electric powered car: Size: average size of a family vehicle. Costs: around $ 8000range: 600 km maximum speed: 180 km/h (or more if you want). Fuel costs: equivalent of 2,5 l/100kmRefilling time: 2 minutes.Impossible? Look up: “ultra capacitors” and”nanosolar”
Not really. They have little in common with an ordinary car, but the same can be said about formal 1 cars.
yes .
yeah, that expense was largely cause of the specially formed aero dynamic panels. Though high efficiency panels are very expensive…
