Solar-powered electric vehicles (EVs) are an innovative solution aimed at reducing dependency on traditional energy sources and minimizing carbon emissions. Here's an overview of the current state and potential of solar-powered EVs based on available information: Current State : Market Introduction : Companies like Sono Motors, Aptera Motors, and Lightyear have been at the forefront, introducing or planning to introduce solar-powered EVs. These vehicles typically use solar panels integrated into the car's body to generate additional range, although they still rely on conventional EV charging for longer trips. Range Extension : Solar panels on these vehicles offer a modest range extension. For instance, models like the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Toyota Prius Prime, and Fisker Ocean can add a few miles of range daily, with some claims reaching up to 40 miles per day under optimal conditions. Components of Solar Powered Electric Vehicles  Solar-powered electric vehicles (EVs) integrate seve...

Energy use in India is quite appreciable for commercial and industrial applications. The increase is almost 5% per year. The energy resources used are  : COAL BIOMASS (Wood and Cow dung) OIL (Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene) ELECTRICITY (about 70% of electricity in India is generated by polluting coal.) Energy exists in many forms. Broadly speaking, we can classify energy into two types, potential and kinetic energy. Potential Energy The potential energy is the stored energy and the energy of position (gravitational). Potential Energy exists in many forms. 1). Chemical Energy:- The energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules is called chemical energy . The examples of stored chemical energy are petrol, diesel, kerosene,  natural gas, coal, wood and other biomass. The stored chemical energy is released as heat when these fuels burn. 2). Nuclear Energy:- The energy stored in the nucleus of an atom, the energy that holds the nucleus together i...
