In July 1990, 32 teams of some of North America's brightest college students took to the road in solar-powered vehicles they had built during the previous year and a half. [1] The GM Sunrayce USA route covered more than 1,800 miles, from Florida to Michigan . [ 2 ]
The planned specifications for the car include a 4.8 kWh lithium-ion battery, a 4 m 2 (43 sq ft) solar array producing 985 W (1.321 hp), and two DC hub motors together good for 2 kW (2.7 hp). The team designed for a weight of 160 kg (350 lb) for BeVolt by using a carbon fiber monocoque chassis and kevlar solar wing. [ 25 ]
