THE first car to self-charge using solar power has hit the market, and thousands of drivers are eager to get behind the wheel.
Curious car lovers flocked to the street to look at the quirky, two-seat vehicle that's "driven by the sun." The car can travel 40 miles daily using only solar-powered driving, meaning drivers can run their daily errands without needing a charge.The car weighs 65% less than other EVs and because of its unique, streamlined design, the model requires only about 30% of the energy other electric vehicles use.
McCammon said 48,000 people have already reserved cars from the company and 500 of those drivers live in San Francisco.
