Issa Awawdeh has converted his car so that it uses solar energy.

Issa Awawdeh says “A part of the car, the engine, runs on electricity. The other features of the car, such as the boot, the lights, the windshield wiper and the steering wheel, run on solar power.

The petrol-powered car costs a lot to run. It costs me 10 shekels (about 2.5 US $) to drive a car from home to work. Now with this car, it costs me 1.20 shekels (about 0.32 US $). That means I save a lot.”

Japanese car manufacturer Honda Motor says it hopes to go a deeper shade of green with its next generation of electric vehicles and solar rechargeable stations. The company gave news media a preview of the new technology on Monday with a demonstration at its research facility on the outskirts of Tokyo. Here’s that report.

Honda Motor says it’s looking to create a solar energy-based transportation system to support its two and four-wheeled electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. It’s a lineup the company calls “personal mobility.”

It’s conducting a series of tests with the local government of Saitama, Japan. Honda hopes to establish the viability of its electric vehicles and solar-powered recharging stations for everyday use on a national scale.

The slick 10 kilowatt solar-panel-roofed station, which can power four EVs simultaneously for a day of use, was designed by Honda for its EV lineup. Even the solar panels are made by Honda.

[Sachito Fujimoto, Senior Chief Engineer, Honda]:
“This is a solar-powered station, a part of our experiments, that recharges EVs with the electricity generated here. It takes less than six hours to fully charge an EV using 220-volts, enabling the vehicle to run up to 100 miles or 160 kilometers.”

Fujimoto said a smart-phone application that monitors the vehicle’s power capacity also adds convenience to drivers.

Among other things, the phone can display a map which will show a driver how far the vehicle can drive on its remaining battery charge and will search for the nearest recharging station. The phone will then forward the information to the vehicle’s on-board computer which will then guide the driver to the station.

[Sachito Fujimoto, Senior Chief Engineer, Honda]:
“Using a smart phone, drivers can check the remaining power in the batteries or reachable distance with it.”

A new plug-in two-wheeler the “EV-neo” and a motorcart, “MONPAL ML200″ were also unveiled. They too will be rechargeable using the same system.

Honda’s CEO hopes the test project will secure Honda’s green credentials.

[Takanobu Ito, CEO, Honda]:
“Based on the result of this experiment, putting together with Honda’s two-wheel, four-wheel and motorcart technologies, and enabling households to be able to generate and store electricity to recharge vehicles with high efficiency, Honda will pursue its ‘total power management’ scheme.”

Honda will take its experiments to the U.S. and China as a part of its scheme early in the New Year.

This circuit converts 12V DC from solar panel and battery storage system and produces 48V DC (60V) to charger the battery pack in my DAYMAK Austin electric bike. Faster charge than OEM charger. Great for someone driving an RV from campground to campground with an e bike on the back for short trips once they get to their destination. This circuit will keep the batteries fully charged and ready to go. You can also use this with a 12V battery charger charger if you original charger has given up the ghost. Or you could have a solar panel charge a battery during the day and use the energy stored to charge your electric bicycle or EV for “free” at night. Automatic circuit switches to trickle charging after battery is completely fast charged.

THEKPV began in 2008 by me Terry Hope. I had worked as an engineer aboard Copper Sky. An 88ft steel haul sailboat. The captain would not allow a full size electric scooter.. I had only one option.. design a vehicle that will fit inside a suitcase.

2010 razor electric scooter solar powered electric bike that is definitely got more speed than a segway,bmx or a unicycle. No accidents or crashes so far. Can hit top speed in a couple meters and race cars across the street on a green light only using a 350 watt DC brushed motor beating cars!
Im NOT saying this razor scooter can race a hayabusa or any other superbike or supercars like a bugatti veyron or lamborghini or Fisker Karma.. or that it should be on a top gear challenge in 2010 or 2011 or anything near that calibre.. well discovery channel maybe in 2012. It is very close to being the worlds first 25 lbs ultra portable survival vehicle/speed racer custom made using a razor electric scooter.

This is a video of awsome solar powered concept cars.
original source (http://webecoist.com/2009/03/12/solar-powered-concept-cars/)

1. The Koenigsegg Quant
If you havent already heard of Koenigsegg, expect to soon. The Swedish supercar firm has developed a concept car called the Quant utilizing a most unlikely combination of power sources: solar energy and pyrite, otherwise known as fools gold. A company spokesperson at the Geneva Motor Show was quoted as saying the Quant will have a 300 mile range and take just 20 minutes to fully recharge.
2. The Peugeot Shoo
One of the more futuristic-looking solar concept cars, the Peugeot Shoo utilizes a triangular design and a solar paneled roof to power the engine. According to DeviceDaily, the design was inspired by a boat and much of the cars aerodynamism is due to that.
3. The Italdesign Giugiaro Quaranta
The Quaranta is one of the most sleek and dynamic solar concept cars currently in existence. Its batteries are powered completely by solar energy, which is collected via panels positioned on the roof and front end of the vehicle. While the bulk of the Quaranta was designed by Italdesign Giugiaro, Toyota contributed its expertise to the sophisticated electronics.
4. The Mercedes-Benz Formula Zero
Mercedez-Benz made its name in luxury, not eco-friendliness, so it might come as a surprise that the company is now placing its hat in the solar-powered car ring. Pictured above is the Formula Zero, a concept car that was entered into 2008s Design Los Angeles Challenge. It is propelled by electric motors on each of its 4 wheels and batteries that draw their power from an aero-efficient solar layer.
5. The Antro Solo
The Hungarian-built Astro Solo and its one-of-a-kind design get an astounding 150MPG, using a combination of solar and gas-electric power. During good weather, the solar panels on the roof are sufficient to power the car on brief 15-25 kilometer trips. When the skies are overcast, the Astro Solo defaults to a small electric engine or – get this – the foot pedaling of the three passengers!
6. The 1987 GM Sunraycer
Solar concept cars are not an entirely new development. One of the more eye-catching and intriguing throwbacks is the 1987 GM Sunraycer, a concept car built for Australias World Solar Competition and never put into mass production. The Sunraycers 8,800 on-board solar cells generated about 1,500 watts of power, propelling this bad boy to top speeds of 68MPH and easily winning the competition
7. The SEAT Brisa
If it looks more like a leisurely bicycle for two than an automobile, this was precisely the creators intention. As CarDailyNews says, the SEAT Brisa was not designed for a non-stop trip from Madrid to Barcelona, but as a recreational, fun vehicle. Unlike many solar powered cars that have the panels plainly visible on the roof, the solar apperatus of the Brisa is hidden beneath the translucent body.
8. The Mindset Six50
The Six50 (on pace for a scheduled 2009 unveiling) can go 100KM on a single battery charge, drawing its power from roof-mounted solar panels. One major advantage of the Six50 is its price: although not currently in production, it has been estimated that Mindset will offer the Six50 for as little as 31,000 Euros, a pittance compared to many newer hybrids.
9. The Lotus Eco Elise
Unveiled at the 2008 British Motor Show, the Lotus Eco Elise has marched boldly into new territory – eco-friendly sports cars. And while the Eco Elise is still somewhat of a gas guzzler, one appreciates the embrace of energy saving technology like the solar panels that power the cars electrical system (including its iPod/MP3 compatible stereo!)
10. The Enigma
This slick solar-powered vehicle was one of the winners at the Royal College of Arts Green Concept Car competition. It was designed by Paul Howse and relies upon electric, solar-powered motors for propulsion. Unfortunately, seeing as this was only designed for a competition, its unclear whether this car will ever actually go into production.
11. The Solar-Powered Volvo
Volvo made its name in safety, not solar, but that hasnt stopped them from developing this eco-friendly monster! Created in anticipation of the 2015 Dakar Rally, the vehicle combines solar energy and fuel cells to support its diesel engine. Thus far, it might qualify as the biggest and baddest solar concept car around!
12. The Eve
The Eve, pictured here, utilizes a specially coated windshield enabling it to harness solar rays and convert them into usable energy that powers the car. The rest of Eves energy comes from its body, made from a mixture of polymers that uses the friction of its turning wheels to generate electricity.

Remember to rate my video and SUSCRIBE!!!
