Green Energy Solar News and Energy Information Centre WA: USA Student create solar car

 American students were able to make a car that can go for 322 km with only 3.78 liters. This successful performance is the result of installing solar panels on the hood of the vehicle. The “Lost Solar Racing” won the “Shell Eco-marathon” in Houston over the weekend.

This solar car is currently a developing prototype; but the idea to eventually produce cars for general public is there. Currently, this vehicle would cost 76,500 euros.
