A new solar-powered electric vehicle prototype can get some of its charge from the sun, reducing dependence on charging infrastructure. The German startup, with big hopes for the future, is struggling with funding though and may not be able to get its car into production. NBC News’ Kelly Cobiella takes a ride to learn more.

Wonderful!!!
Strange The EV Car that Cant get backing The Solar Powered Car All the big corporations Want a Future Were People Buy SOLAR power from them Not Free From the SUN Solar powered Homes Cost an arm and a leg Why Because They The Usual Suspects Want You to Buy Free power from them at gouged prices for FREE power from the SUN
Whatever happened to solar paint? I remember 20-25 yrs ago watching a show on the Discovery Channel about vehicles being painted with a special mix that produced power to run the vehicle. In the same episode there was see through windows that were also solar panels to put on skyscrapers. What happened to these good ideas?
Your EV will perform best with these types of batteries, recharging or not, if you live in an area where the temperature is steady with a low of 76°F and a high of 87°. So far, if you live just a little north or south of the Equator, not at high elevations, and you long distance travel parallel to the Equator, maintaining low elevation, you'll get max performance. Columbia or Nigeria, anyone?
Nope! Disposable batteries and disposable solar panels. Where do we dump them and not destroy the environment?
We urge Chevrolet to make All electric lumina ev sedans automatic transmission gear shift on the steering wheel.
❤️💫
Let's just hope we even have a future and one that doesn't involve us all living in tiny huts starving to death
What's gonna happen when all these vehicles start getting into accidents & blowing up or burning MULTIPLE cars/trucks that had nothing to do with the accident? Why nobody speaking about that🤔
I like the idea of their vehicle and the price. There are other companies also working on solar Ev's.
Absolutely brilliant!!! Here in Arizona, it would be free transportation most of the year and no emissions! Love it, I want one!!!
always remember….. the law makers will always find ways to pass bunch of bills to increase the taxes in owning an electric vehicles, charging station fees etc….. LOL
Looks like Sono's it's about to do a Rug Pull. They raised 50 Mil to stay afloat, then slapped some solar on busses to show they are actually working and now they are running out of money AGAIN! Once they get funding this round they will just blow it on some other charity work to say they helped a cause and not deliver a single car. They will say it still needs more development, and with the technology they are adding more features and raise the base price of the car. This car needs 3 features Electric, Safety, and solar. But i can already see how this is going. I wouldn't suggest anybody put a down payment on this.
😀😀😀😀😀😁😁😁😁😁
Prediction : A big motor company will buy them out and hold back the progression and patents of what they did or invented. This seems like a sales pitch for a mega corp to sale it, investors wont buy into this its too small and the tech seems blah.
