Solar powered car on the streets of Taiwan
If you're ready to reduce your carbon footprint in a big way, and don't mind driving 30 mph wherever you go, the electric car is your vehicle! However, even if you're plugging that bad boy into the wall at night instead of filling it up at a gas station, you're still using up the planet's resources. Unless you drive this -- a solar-powered electric car. The concept isn't revolutionary -- in fact, Brad covered the Australian World Solar Challenge last month, an event in which a number of different solar-powered vehicles (including this one) raced across the country. But, at least until today, none of those cars were available to purchase. Now for about NT$800,000 (US$24,600) the people of Taiwan can cruise the streets, courtesy of the sun's energy.
With a top speed of 44 mph, and almost zero environmental impact, that's a very impressive set of wheels.
