The U.S. startup Aptera Motors has launched the Aptera 3, a three-wheeled solar-powered electric vehicle (sEV). What’s particularly unique about the Aptera 3 is that it requires no daily ...
The Aptera's body shape is similar to earlier design exercises in efficiency, including the "Fusion" human-powered vehicle produced by the Pegasus Research Company in 1984, [17] and the MIT Aztec Solar Car, which won multiple efficiency awards while racing in the American Tour de Sol in 1993.
The first planned production Aptera vehicle in 2019 was a two-seat, three-wheeled passenger battery electric vehicle (BEV). Multiple solar panel, motor, and battery configurations were planned, with estimated ranges from 250 to 1,000 mi (400 to 1,610 km), and initial estimated prices from $25,900 to over $47,000.
The 5-seater solar car Lightyear One is built by the company Lightyear, [19] whose founder and CEO Lex Hoefsloot has already won the World Solar Challenge several times, e.g. in 2013 with the car "Stella" (Solar Team Eindhoven, Technical University Eindhoven). [20] The car was scheduled to go into production in 2021. [21]
A solar car is a solar vehicle for use on public roads or race tracks. Solar vehicles are electric vehicles that use self-contained solar cells to provide full or partial power to the vehicle via sunlight. Solar vehicles typically contain a rechargeable battery to help regulate and store the energy from the solar cells and from regenerative ...
The boost charger CC/CV charging algorithm is a further development of the constant current/constant voltage algorithms. Instead of using the constant voltage and current in the entire charging period, it boosts the charging efficiency through maximizing voltage in the first period, with the battery reaching approximately 30% of its nominal ...
3. 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: 361 Miles. New for the 2023 model year, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 sedan has a distinctive swept-back shape. With a choice of two battery packs and rear- or all-wheel drive, the ...
A Swiss project, called "Solartaxi", circumnavigated the world. This was the first time in history an electric vehicle (not self sufficient solar vehicle) had gone around the world, covering 50000 km in 18 months and crossing 40 countries. It was a road-worthy electric vehicle hauling a trailer with solar panels, carrying a 6 m 2 sized solar array.
