I put a high speed golf cart motor into the car that was designed to be use by post office delivery folks. I covered the roof rear and front with 20-amps of PV photovoltaics. Use it for three years, drove it in Tallahasse during Earth Day. Went to work, went fishing with rods strapped to passenger side of car and it was a two seater. I plugged it in like a golf cart each night. Sure I didn't drive it on long trips like on highways with 65-70 mph speedlimits. <br>But it worked great for general shoppings and going to office, etc.<br><br>Now today in 2008 watch for great new, lighter weight batteries and vhoom!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 25th 2008 8:09AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Vacuum-Cleaner King James Dyson Plans Solar-Powered Car]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/06/24/vacuum-cleaner-king-james-dyson-plans-solar-powered-car/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/06/24/vacuum-cleaner-king-james-dyson-plans-solar-powered-car/</guid><description><![CDATA[Everyone driving electric cars... get real, you obviously haven't lived or visited many states have you.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ken]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 25th 2008 11:31AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Vacuum-Cleaner King James Dyson Plans Solar-Powered Car]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/06/24/vacuum-cleaner-king-james-dyson-plans-solar-powered-car/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/06/24/vacuum-cleaner-king-james-dyson-plans-solar-powered-car/</guid><description><![CDATA[What about all the millions of people driving old beat-up gas guzzlers because they can't afford another vehicle?
