On the market currently, there aren't
very many solar powered cars. The ones that are on the market are very
expensive, but as demand grows with rising gas prices, more will
probably be
developed. Most solar powered cars right now are home made.
According to
Popgadget,
there should be a typed of solar powered car that will be coming out
very soon, probably with in the next year. The car was created to
participate in the 2007
World Solar
Challenge. It is supposed to be able to reach speeds of up to 44
mph, not enough to be highway legal, but still a pretty good figure for
a first model.
The car will
probably be the first of many to follow.
Venturi is currently manufacturing a car that
should also be released in 2008. The car features the ability to not
consume any fossil fuels or generate any emissions while being
aerodynamically designed, putting it up there as one of the most
energy efficient cars. It is also completely street legal.
