- Solar cars sound obvious, but the reality of making a production car with a meaningful amount of range added via solar is tough.
- Still, if you build a purpose-built solar car, you can get nearly infinite range.
- This home build from Drew Builds Stuff highlights how cool the concept is, and also why it's a near-impossible goal for a normal car.
It's an obvious question. Why can't we build EVs that get their power from solar panels, reducing or eliminating the need to stop and charge? I've heard it asked by 12-year-olds and 60-year-olds alike. This new video from Drew Builds Stuff highlights the answer: We can, but we probably won't be able to do it practically.
