Where can I get a car like this? I wonder if it runs at night?


Or how about this electric motorcycle:

Why aren't companys producing things like this?

I've seen that solar car around the net. If you want one, you'll have to build it yourself or ... steal one!

Its tour takes it by where I live around September.

It's also got a battery pack, so yes, it runs at night.

i want it.
It is impractical for everyone to drive one, it is a bit big, maybe as like a rent-a-car for vacations with a bigger interior, good for trips, Alot of materials for a car for daily commute, would be better off having them on your house, would be a lot of extra weight and area than is necesary.

I was going to post that story yesterday, but I searched this forum and saw that Ben mentioned it in 2007. That solar taxi guy has been all over the place. I wonder how he makes money.

It's a really cool car, but imagine actually owning one. People would be goofing around with it all the time. My friend who owns a Smart Car complains that people are always messing up his windows and touching his car. I imagine the solar guy has it 10 times as bad.

rjacob -

Great post! There's a small chance I will be able to see it live next week. I have to see if I can get the day off.
