The solar car of the future is beginning to take shape, in the form of an all-electric three-wheeled vehicle from the US startup Aptera. Technically it’s an autocycle, but solar car fits just as well, considering the 700 watts worth of solar cells integrated into the vehicle’s body.
[pdf] No, you cannot effectively use a solar battery to power your car. Solar batteries are designed for stationary applications, such as home energy storage, rather than automotive use. Solar batteries typically provide power for household appliances and systems, not for vehicle propulsion.
