The car, which runs off the energy provided by multiple solar panels on its roof, has a top speed of 90mph (145kmph), weighs only 1,200kg (1.2 tonnes) and has a range of at least 440 miles (710km) on a sunny day.

The car contains a rechargeable lithium (Li)-ion battery, which would also allow it to operate in less sunny climates but over shorter distances. Such is the level of energy provided by the solar panels on the car that it can provide sufficient electricity for cooking and charging devices such as a phone or camera.

Thanks for post. Ojala, [ hopefully/God willing] I live long enough to see in mass market. Affordable cost, solar charging stations -- I'm excited when I see a Tesla and EV charging stations in my area-- still ave sticker shock though. Cost for solar car ? When it's affordable to the masses then we'll see the end of fossil fuel use. Innovation and tech just a fascinating time to live!
