Aerius solar-electric concept vehicle

Pei Cheng Hsieh of the Monash University envisions an EV for the year 2025, the Aerius electric concept vehicle, that uses solar energy to extend its range.

This vehicle is powered by Michelin Active in-wheel electric motors at the rear and on-board electric motors in the front for persistent acceleration and active handling. Apart from aerodynamically efficient body, Aerius electric concept has solar panels to constantly re-charge the carbon nanotube super-capacitors to extend its range.
