Infinite Mobility, a Norwegian startup, is developing electric cargo bikes with onboard solar panels that could potentially power a full day’s worth of riding just by parking them in the sun.
A production version of a full-sized solar-powered EV is still probably years away, and even the smaller EVs with decidedly non-typical configurations, such as the Aptera with its onboard solar panels, have yet to make it into production, so we are more likely to see effective solar-electric transport solutions coming from the micromobility sector. An e-bike or e-cargo bike, even when carrying a payload, is much lighter than a standard EV, its battery is a fraction of the size and weight of an EV battery, and it doesn’t need to reach high speeds or have a massive range, so their power requirements…
