National Drive Electric Week Solar Powered EVs: The Next Step in Sustainable Transportation
September 28, 2022 @ 6:30 pm — 7:30 pm
EVs have only been widely available for a short time, but they may soon be eclipsed by the new technology of Solar EVs. This solar eclipse will start next year as several SEVs will be available for consumers in 2023. These SEVs have built-in solar panels which produce enough electricity for many people to drive daily without requiring any external source of electricity. For road trips or owners who have long commutes, SEVs can be plugged in to charge the battery, like a normal EV, and then topped off daily with the sun. Solar range is accomplished by engineering for weight, aerodynamics, and friction.
SEVs have a lower carbon footprint than EVs because they produce their own energy and are extremely efficient. They are also ideal for owners who don't have home charging.
