Sono Sion - Solar Assisted EV
I thought this car was already posted, but I guess not. This is a startup, that is looking better and better as they refine their design.

It could probably collect a few KwH per day.

80kw motor. Doesn't say how much it weighs. Up to 30km a day via solar power. |
That sounds about right but pretty optimistic.
|
I am not sure how a polycarbonate car body would behave in a collision!
|
Why did they waste solar panels on the sides? Or is that just an applique to make the car look cooler?
|
When the sun is low, the cells on one of the sides produce some power. When the sun is higher in the sky, the cells on the roof and hood produce power.
|
If the cells are light and cheap, why not?
I like the shape. |

No way they're getting more than 5-10% of those cells' ideal output any given day. For the same cost, I bet they could get way more range by adding to the battery pack. |

This isn't 1999 anymore, a lot of foreign panels are getting to be very efficient at hobby prices . |
