A major portion of the vehicles used for transportation run on fossil fuels which is a non-renewable source of energy. It is estimated that we will run out of resources of fossil fuels in the next 25 years if the consumption continues at the same rate. Due to the rising demands for petroleum and the depleting resources, the cost of fuel has also increased. Another drawback of using these energy sources is the pollution that they cause which affects the environment and the health of the people. To reduce the dependency on fossil fuels and make use of the abundantly available natural resources there is a need to develop a vehicle which can make a transition between these two and hence reduce the pollution, cost of fuel thereby increasing efficiency. 164W of solar energy is received by every square meter of the earth’s surface on average. This can be utilized through solar cells to generate electricity which can be converted to motive energy to run an automotive. This can be done using hub motors which decrease the maintenance required as compared to the petroleum only cars. Since they derive the motive energy from solar powered batteries the need for refuelling is eased.
