Although the technology is not widely adopted yet, solar stations have been developed that can power electric cars similarly to a gas station - and in a much more environmentally-friendly way. These stations are beginning to appear across developed countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom.

Solar Hybrid Car Harness the Power of the Sun?
There is no better way to reduce the carbon footprint of your vehicle than with a solar hybrid car. These vehicles harness the power of the sun to recharge the on-board batteries. This also lowers the carbon footprint of the vehicle. Installing one of these supplemental charging systems allow the vehicle to operate in electric mode for extended periods of time which increases fuel mileage and saves money on gas.
Are AA rechargeable batteries mor cost effective then just buying regular AA batteries when they expire?
They are effective in some ways, but the one setback for this is that you will need to use electricity to recharge the batteries when they run out. However, rechargeable batteries are the best type out there.
Are car batteries large enough to recharge?
Since one purpose of the alternator/generator is to keep the battery charged, yes.
Can you use regular AA batteries for outdoor solar lights?
If I understand the type of light you seem to be referring to correctly, the answer is no you need rechargeable AA batteries (e.g. NiMH). Normal AA batteries (e.g. alkaline, heavy duty) are not rechargeable and can be damaged or even explodeif it is attempted to recharge them.Use only the type of batteries the instructions for such devices specify.
Where can one purchase an alkaline batter charger?
Few alkaline battery chargers have been made. The process to recharge alkaline batteries hasn't been very successful. Most rechargeable alkaline batteries will only recharge a few times and you have to make sure you use the correct type of charger. It can be very dangerous if you use the wrong one.
Investing In Solar Power?
Solar powered energy efficiency cars will not be coming out soon. The price of the photovoltaic cell will have to come down. This technology is still developing and if one is interested, one should expect some kind of photovoltaic cells fitted upon the car's roof. The most probable investment would be toward financing solar carports that could recharge the batteries of hybrid and electric vehicles and nearby buildings as well.
Electric Plug-in Vehicles Cut the Gasoline Umbilical Cord?
One of the latest technological efforts to reduce green house gas emissions is plug-in electric vehicles. These modes of transportation use batteries to drive the transmission. Unlike a hybrid, these vehicles do not have their own onboard means to recharge the batteries. This is accomplished by plugging the vehicle into a source of electrical power. This can be an electric vehicle recharging station or your own regular household outlet.
Is it actually good to use rechargeable batteries like on a phone or ipod until they die and then recharge them after they die or is it better to recharge them before they die?
it is beter to not let the batterie die.. just charge it once it starts showin low battery....you can't get rechargeable batteries for ipod if u had one u would know that
What are the differences between NiMH and NiCd batteries for solar lights, and which one is more suitable for optimal performance and longevity?
NiMH batteries have higher energy density and are more environmentally friendly than NiCd batteries. NiMH batteries are also less prone to memory effect and have a longer lifespan. Therefore, NiMH batteries are more suitable for optimal performance and longevity in solar lights compared to NiCd batteries.
What are the differences between NiCd and NiMH batteries for solar lights, and which one is more suitable for optimal performance and longevity?
The main differences between NiCd and NiMH batteries for solar lights are their energy density, memory effect, and self-discharge rate. NiMH batteries have higher energy density, no memory effect, and lower self-discharge rate compared to NiCd batteries. Therefore, NiMH batteries are more suitable for optimal performance and longevity in solar lights.
How many different electric car designs are there?
Basically there are three. 100% electric and hybrid electric that uses a small engine to charge the batteries. There is also at least one vehicle that uses a solar cell to help charge the battery.
How do you get maximum life from your batteries?
Ensure that your batteries are fully charged before using them. A green light on your charger will indicate a full charge. If your charger is over 5 years old, it will probably not be working efficiently and we would recommend that you purchase a new one. Make sure that your vehicle is serviced as per the manufacturer's recommendation and that it is clean and lubricated in the relevant places. Always recharge your batteries as soon as possible after using them and store them in a dry and warm area, but not on a concrete or stone surface. If you use your batteries frequently, (twice a week or more), you can keep the battery on permanent charge. If you use your batteries once or less per week, recharge after use and disconnect. Put on charge again two or three hours before using again, making sure that the charger indicator goes to green.
