Solar Powered Cars
Sunday, July 18th, 2010
Do you think Solar-powered cars are beneficial compared to a fuelled car?
No. Anyone who lives in a cold climate with days of cloud will understand 2 things.
1. there isn’t always sun when you want to drive.
and 2. having a car heater is really nice when it’s -20 outside. Solar cars might store power, but heating elements take up HUGE amounts of power, and we don’t have a solution for an electric car of any kind that can run a heater and still drive a reasonable distance….yet.
Are Solar Powered Cars the Future?
