How long can a solar car last?

Answer 1

Solar car: an electric car powered by solar panels on its roof, usually charging batteries.

These are made individually, usually by universities or vehicle companies, to compete in a Solar Race, like the World Solar Challenge, from Darwin, Australia to Adelaide, held every two years, a distance of 3000 km (1800 miles). The cars usually take around 50 hours to finish the race.

The cars are extremely light, and the driver needs to balance the Need for Speed and battery charging and battery use, as occasionally the sky is cloudy.
