Dawn, the solar car, that wants to reach 100 kmh

in #cars • 6 years ago

Designed by PROVE Lab, a Californian student laboratory, Dawn wants to be the first solar-powered car to reach the 100 kmh. The goal of the students is to break the world speed record in its category next June (88.7 kmh by SunSwift Ivy).

Dawn

PROVE Lab students worked more than 2 years on this project, the car is powered by a photovoltaic panel of 2 kW with no battery and controlled by two joysticks. Dawn is made of aerospace carbon fiber in order to be lighter, with the driver, less than 200 kg.

We'll see in June if PROVE Lab will break the world record. All the success to them.

    It is a beautiful car. Cool name too. Dawn

    100km/hr will be a milestone too.

    Ever since Elon Musk revealed solar panels that look identical to our typical roof shingles in 2016, I can imagine a commercial car made from metal sheets that are actually solar panels. Wouldn't that be a great development to look forward to?

    That would be a huge innovation, a metal bodywork all in solar panels that could carry a family...
