Fully Solar Powered Electric VW Bus
Found an interesting VW BUS Electric conversion. Thought I would post it on here for anyone that has not seen it.
[flash=]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGZ1zbqAGA0-G6tw&feature=player_embedded[/flash] Would love to see what kind of range this would get with better batteries. Never seen anyone build an EV that could recharge itself with solar panels mounted on the vehicle. |

Those are some lucky little kids with a dad building stuff like this for ultra quiet camping excursions. Beautiful van too. Style and DIY ain't common.

I would love to do something like this. Ultimate dream camper van would have the powertrain from a 100kwh Tesla in a van like a Sprinter or Transit with the roof covered with solar panels. Could even have awnings of panels that slide out on each side from under the main panels for maximum power production and shade. A couple kw of solar should more than cover the energy needs if it's not moving far each day and charging stations would make up the extra needed for winter and long trips.

When I'm camping, I prefer to set up in the shade, especially here in Florida.
