Solar NEVs

In solar NEVs the solar-electric panels and the charge controller keep the batteries charged while not overcharging them. The owner can park the NEV in the sun and the vehicle will charge itself. If it is a cloudy day and the owner wants to charge the vehicle, it can be plugged into ordinary house current. [Pg.257]

Small neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs) have been gaining popularity throughout the United States and in other parts of the world. There are several companies that manufacture and sell NEVs in the United States. Some of these employ solar-electric technology. [Pg.257]

The shape of an NEV is free to take many forms, since it is not constrained by the conventional internal combustion engine s requirements for space. The electric motor is very small and the battery compartment is kept low in the vehicle for a low center of gravity, so it is often under the rear storage bay. Amorphous cell panels allow simple curved solar panels to be a part of the vehicle. [Pg.257]
