Why is a solar car so expensive?
Their parts are expensive to manufacture. They have a motor, wheels, seats, steering wheel, brakes and more. Also, they require some kind of fuel and in this case, it's the sun, which is why it's called the solar car. The sun cannot power the car directly; some conversion must happen between the sun and the wheels. This is the same with your everyday automobile. The explosion of the fossil fuel in the motor gives power to the wheels. For the solar car, the sun's energy is converted to electricity with the help of the solar cells. The electricity is used to power the electric motor which turns the wheels. It is very important for the car to be very efficient since its power source is the sun and it may not be present all the time. For that reason, solar cars are built with an aerodynamic shape to reduce wind friction and are made very light.
