In the work of the 1990s, regulations requiring an approach to "zero emissions" from vehicles increased interest in new battery know-how. Battery systems that offer higher energy density became the subject of joint research by federal & auto industry scientists.
Solar cars were first built by universities & manufacturers. The sun energy collector areas proved to be sizable for consumer cars, however that is changing. Development continues on solar cell design & automobile power supply requirements such as heater or air-conditioning fans.
Solar Automobile Races
Hans Tholstrup & Larry Perkins were the first solar automobile racers who completed a Solar Trek from Perth to Sydney, Australia in 1983.
In the 1987 race, the GM Sunraycer completed the 3010 km trip with an average speed of 67 kmh, setting the scene for an extensive research & development program among the teams.
