This enables the vehicle to drive for ranges of up to 2,000 kilometres – fully electric without any harmful emissions, completely clean energy, climate-neutral, and without any battery! The capabilities of the nanoFlowcell® drive technology have been repeatedly proven since 2015 by the QUANTiNO 48VOLT.
Cars that run on the energy of the Sun have already hit the roads of the Australian desert. As the video above explains, they can even cruise along at the same kinds of speeds as a petrol engine. Imagine a car that runs on the same power as a toaster. That's what the student-run Stanford Solar Car Project claims to have done.
Perhaps someday EVs running solely on sunshine will be possible for those in sunnier locales. Thanks to Tim Suen, Linda Jing, Eric Zheng, and Nicholas Yiu for reviewing portions of the draft of this article and providing helpful feedback.
Imagine a car that runs on the same power as a toaster. That's what the student-run Stanford Solar Car Project claims to have done. The project designs, builds, tests and races solar-powered vehicles as part of the World Solar Challenge, a 2,000-mile (3,200 kilometre) trek across the Australian Outback.
Recently, there has been much hype surrounding solar-powered electric vehicles (EVs) such as the Tesla Cybertruck and the futuristic Lightyear One. How much range is achievable on solar power alone? Solar EVs could revolutionize urban cities by allowing vehicles to rely less on the grid and reducing the need for charging infrastructure.
Although Musk has hinted at a solar roof option for the Cybertruck, the most premium solar car being launched this year is the Lightyear. Dutch startup Lightyear strives towards sustainability by maximizing drive efficiency and solar yield and seeks to achieve one lightyear of kilometers powered by solar by 2035.
To maximize charging your vehicle from solar power, you have to park your car directly under the sun which could be difficult if you have an underground or covered space. With the maximum theoretical limit for silicon solar cells at 30%, most widely available commercial silicon solar cells exhibit an efficiency of ~20–25%.
