Solar Electric Vehicle (SEV) is a Solar Electric Vehicle (SEV) is a type of electric vehicle (EV) that integrates solar panels into its design. These solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity, directly powering the vehicle or charging its onboard battery. This allows the vehicle to extend its range, reduce reliance on traditional charging stations, and utilize a renewable energy source. Relevant Information: SEVs represent a fusion of solar technology and electric vehicle design, aiming to create a more sustainable and efficient mode of transportation. The integration of solar panels can vary, with some vehicles using them as a primary energy source and others as a supplementary source. The effectiveness of solar charging can be influenced by factors such as geographical location, weather conditions, and the efficiency of the solar panels used.
