It will hopefully give lots of information about our cars and illustrate some of the differences between them. Here is a table comparing some of the important aspects of a few of our vehicles. Not all specifications are available at this time.
Solar cars are electric cars at heart.
They have batteries to store extra energy and to provide extra power when the cells are not producing enough power to completely run the car. The batteries also allow them to run on cloudy days and at night. The batteries may be charged either using the solar array or by using a battery charge and plugging the car into an outlet. As race cars, striving for efficiency, our cars do not have the luxuries of air conditioning or roll-down windows. When the cars are stopped, therefore, they can get quite warm inside.
