The cabal would start receiving subsidy on the SUN once we start buying the solar powered cars!

Seriously, How many kilometers would a fully charged car cover?

Would it automatically charge once it is in the sun?

Whta happens during rainy seasons?

Seriously, How many kilometers would a fully charged car cover?
The numbers of kilometers it can cover is directly proportional to the size, number and quality of rechargeable batteries used.

Would it automatically charge once it is in the sun?

What do you understand by something being solar powered?

What happens during rainy seasons?

Do we used to have sunshine during rainy season at all? Does it rain throughout the day always? By the way, I strongly believe in the absence of solar power, electric power can still charge the batteries.

Any other question? No? Then get yours!

No doubt, but you can't tell me an average man who is still trying to maintain his one car will just go out there and dole out cash he didn't plan for...

The car is an electric car and not a solar enabled car, its been charged with electricity. And will travel 93 miles on a full charge

It will cover 93 miles on a full charge, my advise be say make you buy generator put for booth incase it runs out of battery u can just charge and continue ur journey. It gets fully charge within 40 minutes

what do you know about the electric car by Tesla? go and research on it and come back and edit this thing you wrote here.

electric cars travel more distance than a combustion engine. it recharge the batteries if it's no longer in motion. so stop saying what you don't know.

ben bruces idea is not a practical one, for one whats the range of a solar powered car/
how much does it cost? wheres the nepa to charge it during the rainin season.?

we need practical solutions not an elitist solution, i think the man jus wants to show off his new toy., let him keep his solar powered car, can he driv dt car from bayelsa to ph.

Re: See Ben Bruce's Electric Car That Is Charged With Solar (photo) by abatically(m): 9:37pm On May 25, 2015
The main question should be how long before it gets from zero to a full charge. Then how many kilometers can it travel on a full charge? What happens when the sun doesn't shine for the whole day? Even full time electric cars have their limitations as it takes hours to charge fully (and electric charges faster than solar, even a tesla with supercharger takes like an hour to charge fully and will go only about 200 miles then u will need to recharge).

Button line is, the world ain't ready for solar cars yet. Even electric cars are not a worldwide thing yet, solar cars are just prototypes. Nothing beats fuel car in Nigeria.

Dumbo . As a person who studied electrical engineering in one if the renowned universities in Nigeria , let me break it down for you like a pupil in the kindergarten .

The car is an electric car because:

1. It harnesses solar energy using photocells.
2: It converts this energy to direct current (DC)
3. This DC is stored in batteries
4.This DC is used to propel the car and provides the electrical energy needed to power electrical/electronic gadgets in the vehicle .
5. Most of the gadgets and components in a car use direct current . But in few cases where AC ( alternating current) is needeed, an inverter is employed to convert the DC to AC.

Electric cars are cars that use electricity .. Kindergarten definition .
Electricity can be gotten from many sources and solar is one of them . Whether the car's battery are charged by NEPA (which needs a rectifier to convert the current to direct current; the only storable form ) or it's charged by solar ( which is a pure DC and requires no conversion for storage ) , " all Na electric car" .. Don't be confused .because they call it solar car
It is called so because its source of electricity is solar . grin

Weather Na from river , or from ocean or from sea .. Boat no de answer "river boat" but if you call am river boat , e no go reject am


Electric car meant here is that which get charged from a power source and not charge through solar energy.

Quoting you .. Solar energy is not a " power source "

Bury your head in shame grin
