Looks pretty slick, I’m just wondering how well that bonnet will take stone chips and other scrapes?
Any specs on this car? Even plastering the top and sides of it with solar cells could barely power a hairdryer.
How much extra range does it add? And hoe much extra weight does it add?
Hear me out here:
Why not a mild hybrid with a sizeable battery and a small, say 1400 cc turbocharged engine, plus the solar power? Massive range, possibly many months between charging or adding fuel.
Interesting idea! I haven’t this idea before.
