Solar powered cars have a solar panel somewhere on the outside of the car, and the energy is either directly run to the wheels, or charges a battery, which then powers the wheels, where as electric powered cars use only a battery, which can now be charged using a regular plug.
The speed of a solar-powered toy car depends on various factors such as the size of the car, the power of the solar panel, and the design of the car. On average, solar-powered toy cars can reach speeds of 1-2 meters per second.
A solar-powered car company specializes in designing and manufacturing vehicles that utilize solar energy as a primary power source. These companies often integrate solar panels into the car's design, allowing it to harness sunlight to charge its batteries and extend its driving range. Notable examples include Lightyear, known for its solar electric vehicle, and Sono Motors, which produces the Sion, a solar-powered car with integrated solar cells. The goal of these companies is to promote sustainable transportation and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

Usually universities build a solar powered car for a race. It gives their design and technology students the chance to put their theories into practice.
How does a solar powered car stop
I would say solar because it could run all day when it is light out, and pretty long at night since the energy is stored into the solar panels. Electric powered cars have to be charged and you don't get to many hours out the charging.
Solar powered cars are battery powered cars. The solar array is charging the batteries. So there is no real difference.
A solar-powered car converts solar energy into electrical energy using photovoltaic cells in its solar panels. This electrical energy powers the car's electric motor, enabling it to move. Additionally, the car may utilize batteries to store excess energy for later use, enhancing its efficiency and range.
The cheapest solar powered car is $5,560 (this car is Chinese). The most expensive solar powered car is between $284,000 (Australian) and $1.5 million dollars (possibly American or European)!!
the first solar powered car , also known as the "sunmobile"
the solar powered car was invented by Alfred Pandori 1985
