The Aptera uses 42 KW in-wheel electric motors [11] and can be ordered with two (front-wheel drive) or three (all-wheel drive) motors. The Aptera's roof and dashboard, and optionally its hood and hatch, are fitted with solar panels, with the full compliment being designed to add a range of up to 40 miles per day and 11,000 miles per year in the ...
The design has an aerodynamic shape and uses lightweight carbon fiber and fiberglass composite materials, and built-in solar cells to significantly extend its range. [1] [2] While several prototypes featured in-wheel motors, the production model is designed with a standard three-wheeler front-wheel drive axle. [3]
Electric rickshaws usually have a mild steel tubular chassis, consisting of three wheels with a Differential mechanism sending power to the rear wheels. The motor is a brushless DC motor, with power outputs generally ranging from 650 to 1,400 watts (0.87 to 1.88 hp). The electrical system used in Indian versions is 48V and in Bangladesh is 60V.
This list of prototype solar cars comprises multiperson, relatively practical vehicles powered completely or significantly by solar cells (panels or arrays, mounted on the vehicle) which convert sunlight into electricity to drive electric motors while the vehicle is in motion and have a homologation for public streets.
The 2019 design included two or three 50 KW wheel hub motors. [34] The 2024 production model is designed with a standard three-wheeler front-wheel drive axle. [35] Embedded solar panels were designed to contribute up to an estimated additional 40 mi (64 km) per day from sunlight under optimal conditions.
The SINAG (Tagalog for sun ray), based in De La Salle University in the Philippines, is the first Philippine solar-powered race car and the first entry of the Philippines to the World Solar Challenge. The solar car was inaugurated on January 27, 2007, at NBC Tent, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig. [1]

Since the 1950s, when the pulled rickshaw was phased out, mid-city and large city passengers may travel using three-wheeled pedicabs, or cycle rickshaws. The Chinese term for the conveyance is sanlunche (三轮车). The vehicles may be pedal- or motor-powered. In Shanghai, most of the vehicles are powered by electricity. [20]
