What is a solar car or Vehicle?
A Solar Car is a vehicle that is entirely powered by solar energy. It does not use fossil fuels to power the engine and the electrical systems of the vehicle. Solar cars are not yet available in the market for everyday use as at 2016.
Stella the family solar car
This is the first 4 seater solar car, made for everyday use. I wish I could get one of these!! I know it would cost so much but I hope that the cost of these vehicles will keep going down as the years go by and technology advances.This car called the Stella can go over 500miles on one charge. This means that it can move also at night because it has batteries installed in it. It can go as fast as 80miles/hour and if going slower and operating in the sun, it can go even longer.

Ford has also developed a solar powered car called C-MAX Solar Energi Concept.
