The Stella Vie, touted as the world's first solar-powered family car, was unveiled on Wednesday by Eindhoven University. The award-winning fully solar vehicle is the brainchild of Lightyear, Eindhoven University of Technology's "solar team." The car's ability to run in any city with an electric grid, means that it does not need any special infrastructure, long an obstacle for electric cars. Additionally, the car features independent in-wheel motors for each wheel, large indoor space for family use and large storage space due to the absence of a central engine.
This odd-looking solar powered vehicle was built by one elderly Chinese man, who had only one goal in mind. 64-year-old Wang Yongzhi built the car so that he and his wife Zhang Shuyan could travel through China on a budget. The solar-powered vehicle can cover a distance of over 120 miles with good sunlight and reach a speed of around 30 miles per hour, but the two-seater can also use gas as a backup when the weather is bad.
