Can the Sun power vehicles?
Sunshine can be turned into electricity by solar cells. A vehicle covered with solar cells can produce enough electricity to drive an electric motor. A solar-powered bicycle crossed Australia at an average speed of 50 kph. The fastest solar-powered car, Sunraycer, was capable of a topspeed of 78 kph.
