A team in China has taken the challenge a step further by creating an electric vehicle (EV), the Tianjin solar car. While car manufacturers worldwide strive to create an efficient, cost-effective electric vehicle, this team has created an EV that runs entirely off solar energy.
A collaborative product of three universities and 42 enterprises, the Tianjin solar car made its first appearance at the sixth World Intelligence Conference before traveling across the mainland. A total of 47 advanced technologies are incorporated into the production process, including several considered highlights among top-tier cars.
The solar-powered EV made in China has the capability of autonomous driving at level 4 and above, just like any Tesla car. In addition, compared to Lightyear SEV’s 5-square meter solar panels, Tianjin has larger 8.1 square meter panels than Lightyear SEV’s 5-square meter solar plates.
