Students designed a solar-powered automobile that can go up to 730 kilometers each day

In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of environmentally friendly vehicles, a group of Dutch university students drove a car for more than 3,000 kilometers using only solar energy. The 22 students enrolled at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands say that the “van” produced—dubbed Stella Vita—is the world’s first solar-powered motorhome. The team obtained 17.5 square meters of coverage with its roof covered with solar panels and wings that expand with extra panels, generating enough electricity to live and drive.

It has a license plate, can travel 453 miles (730 kilometers) in 24 hours, and has a top speed of 120 kilometers per hour. The motorhome sleeps two people and features a kitchen with a fridge, a living room, a bed, a shower, and a toilet. The Eindhoven University of Technology ensures that “Stella Vita is a self-sustaining house on wheels.” “It is self-sufficient with charging stations due to solar panels on the roof.”

“The vehicle generates enough solar energy to drive, shower, watch TV, charge your laptop, and make coffee,” the vehicle’s creators claim. The kids designed and built the mobile house in a year, and they finished their showcase tour last month. From the Dutch city of Eindhoven to the southernmost point of Spain. Drivers and passengers may also see how much energy is being consumed and how much is remaining. The car has a 60-kilowatt-hour battery and can go 600 kilometers at night.
