and when you get back, the car is full again. and, basically, that happens every day. in the summer in the netherlands, you wouldn t have to charge for months if you do just your commute. really! i m from the uk i know what you re talking about, yeah. yeah. and, basically, uk and the netherlands are the worst i%, right? it will get a lot better when you go to south europe. why did you set up a company here, then, and not in the sahara? because we love the sun because we see it so less. actually, the netherlands is a european leader in solar power, getting as much as i7% of its energy from the sun. lexis a bit of a world leader too. in 2012, he co founded the team that went on to win the solar challenge cruiser race across the australian outback four times in a row. unsurprisingly, the design of lightyear one is somewhat more conventional. now, solar cells are getting better and better at turning sunlight into electricity,
the rest still has to come from plugging it in. you can fast charge it using a normal charger, but the solar panel will recharge your commute every day. so, basically, when you put it outside of your office space, then it recharges itself, and when you get back, the car is full again. and, basically, that happens every day. in the summer in the netherlands, you wouldn t have to charge for months if you do just your commute. really! i m from the uk i know what you re talking about, yeah. yeah. and, basically, uk and the netherlands are the worst i%, right? it will get a lot better when you go to south europe. why did you set up a company here, then, and not in the sahara? because we love the sun because we see it so less. actually, the netherlands is a european leader in solar power, getting as much as i7% of its energy from the sun. lexis a bit of a world leader too. in 2012, he co founded the team that went on to win the solar challenge cruiser race across the australian outback
four times in a row. unsurprisingly, the design of lightyear one is somewhat more conventional. now, solar cells are getting better and better at turning sunlight into electricity, but lex s company is more focused on making what energy it can harvest go further. the result will be the most energy efficient five seater on the market when it launches, with a ruthlessly aerodynamic design weighing about half a tesla model s, and which trades the crazy acceleration of that beast for range and efficiency. so, the tendency has been for electric cars to look at high acceleration and large batteries. so, because of those two, cars get very heavy, and very heavy cars that accelerate quickly, they need very high power. so, we say it s more important to get to the destination quick than it is to be quick at a traffic light. and what s great about in wheel
Solar technology has been with us for decades – the promise of free and abundant energy from the sun is an irresistible lure to humankind. It was only natural that sooner rather than later, some smart engineers would try to harness this energy to power a car. Several solar electric vehicles (SEVs) are not far […]
