Abstract

In the twenty-first century transportation, industry has undergone rapid changes, with the advent of electric vehicles (EV), and the world is moving towards a clean and green future. The electric vehicles depend on electrical energy from coal-powered power plants for their charging; this dilemma has sought the attention of researchers and engineers to look out for a cleaner technology to power up the batteries. One of the possible solutions is solar-powered electric vehicle (SPEV); the solar-powered EV can self-charge its batteries without any turbulence caused to the environment. This paper enumerates multifarious design and fabrication strategies involved in building a practical off-road four-wheeled solar-powered electric vehicle.
