The subject became a meme! In images circulating on social networks, a man walks on the road with a car full of solar panels on its exterior. However, in an interview, he regrets that the city where he lives is cloudier and does not produce as expected. 

A resident of Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, is making waves on social media after creating a solar-powered car. Around it is full of signs! According to him, his main motivation would be to escape the price of gasoline, which should increase exponentially within ten years with the oil crisis and market shortage. Currently, in the state of Santa Catarina, the value of a liter exceeds the mark of R$ 8 and in twenty Brazilian states charge more than R$ 7 per liter. And, in India and other countries in the East, the situation is no exception. Using electric motors in old cars is a way to reuse these cars and make them useful even in a fossil supply crisis. 

Bilal Ahmed, creator of this project and mathematician, said in an interview that he has been working on the car for over 13 years and managed to reach the milestone of using an old car, before the 2000s, to transform it into an electric car that uses only the lightning bolts. sun to have your movement on the road. According to him, his goal was to create an update for the car using items to help people with disabilities, but the high price changed the direction of his project.

Electric cars are increasingly common on the market. However, their prices exceed the traditional ones, which makes them unfeasible for a large part of the population. A Tesla is a pioneering brand in the industry. Generally, electric cars are only charged at an outlet with limited daily changeover capability. However, with solar panels and a lot of sun during the day, it will be possible for the vehicle owner to be able to travel a greater distance, at the same time as saving on the electricity bill.

The creator of this car said, in an interview, that he had been studying the luxury car industry since the last century and had always been interested in creations and innovations. To do so, he had to use his knowledge of mathematics to develop his idea. Ahmed then broke the notion that only the elite could have access to a luxury car and showed that the old ones can also have updates and be updated at low cost. 

According to him, in addition to the intention of bringing something more into account, his objective will be to use luxury vehicles, which nowadays are not worth that much, so that the poorest people also have the opportunity to make the world more sustainable. Not to mention that it is through this that materials can be reused without the need for new manufactures. Cars that could be discarded will have a chance to return to the market. 

Because it is a gloomy climate in the city where he lives, he states that they went countless times to companies dedicated to creating solar panels in order to find out about their effectiveness. His doubt was whether they would be able to move the car through minimal production. When using a battery, you can store a large part of the energy and, thus, leave it in the sun all day to use it at night without fuel.
