Electric vehicles that operate off of solar energy or sunlight are commonly referred to as solar cars. These vehicles use solar panels to convert absorbed light into electrical energy to be used by electric motors, with any excess energy stored in batteries. Batteries in solar-powered vehicles differ from starting batteries in standard ICE cars because they are fashioned to impart power tow
