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.
A solar hybrid car has the capability to act like a gas-powered car since it is a "hybrid". Hence, the solar hybrid can be used daily as long as fuel is available.
mechanism is used to power a solar car?
like a solar power car
Some hybrid cars have just as much power as regular cars. They use gasoline for power when it is needed, or the electric component can produce enough power.
The Venturi Astrolab, made in France, in 2006 was hailed as the worlds first commercial electro-solar hybrid car. Solar vehicles are not sold at present, but are primarily demonstration vehicles.
The first hybrid car (built in 1899) used a gasoline engine to supply power to an electric motor that drove the car's front wheels.
Hybrid vehicles are different from your average car because they use two or more different power sources to move the vehicle. Usually they use a regular combustion engine and an electric motor. Over recent years, new sources of energy and power have been used such as compressed air, electricity, liquified natural gas, hydrogen, and solar power. All of these secondary sources of hybrid power help lessen greenhouse emissions.
The difference between and hybrid and a standard car is simple, a hybrid uses two or more distinct power sources (internal combustion engine and an electric motor); non hybrids run solely on internal combustion engines. What makes hybrids stand out is the electrical engine inside. This electrical engine accepts many different power sources such as compressed air, hydrogen, liquid nitrogen , wind power, and solar power. Some models such as the Chevrolet Volt run solely on electricity.
With a battery or solar power!
A solar engine for a solar car is actually an electric motor. Solar cells on a solar car collect solar energy, which is then sent to a battery or battery pack in the form of DC current. This energy is then used to power the solar car.
