The Upcoming Solar-Electric Vehicles

Making the Future Pollution Free

Technological advancement has made individuals and companies more ecologically conscious. Traffic and vehicular pollution are escalating due to an increase in population and standard of living. Gas and petrol-powered vehicles have proved inefficient i.e. they are not just costly but also negatively impacts the environment. As a counter strategy, the world's renowned automotive companies, Hyundai Motors and Kia Motors, geared up to launch their solar charging vehicles to minimize the CO2 emission and improve mileage. In this blog, we will discuss the benefits and features that Hyundai Group Motors is offering in their solar powered vehicles. 

A Step Towards Nature

Hyundai has introduced its first ever solar electric car known as Sonata Hybrid with a translucent solar roof to absorb the sun rays that will charge the vehicle. This new system comprises a solar panel, a battery and a controller, giving a green message to the public. With the help of photovoltaic cells, the solar energy is converted into electrical energy which is then stored inside the batteries. The 100W solar panel generates an energy of 100Wh in an hour. On an average, it will charge 30-60% of the battery per day, adding 3-4 miles to its range. However, it also depends on the weather and the environment where you drive. These features can enhance the fuel efficiency of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles as well.

While comparing it with competitors, some people argue that the transition between gas and electric is not seamless. Above that, such cars are fully optimal in sunny areas. But the bright side is that an increase in exports is expected, since environmental laws are being implemented worldwide. The other added features of this car include leather upholstery, a sleek exterior with a touch of sportiness, front and rear parking sensors, surround view camera, cupholders, LED lights, automatic passenger and driver windows, spacious and comfortable sitting that gives a sense of openness to the passengers. Unlike the traditional cars, it significantly reduces noise pollution, making your journey peaceful. Passengers can even enjoy a panoramic view from the sunroof.

A Choice of Green Minded Consumers

Solar vehicles are an exciting but an expensive innovation. It is a great buy for the customers who are safety conscious and concerned about the environment. With time these vehicles are getting more efficient, reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and creating a sustainable future for the coming generations.
