how are the solar powered and the electric car alike? how are they different?

Answer 1

They are both electric and probably both store energy in batteries. The solar car gets all its electricity from the sun. The electric car gets it from your home electcricity outlet. The recently adverdised Tesla roadster takes 75 amps for more than 3 hours to charge its batteries. The solar car creates no waste when operated. The electric car just moves the waste from the highway to the electric generating plant.

Answer 2

-------------
Any electric car can be a solar car, with the addition of solar panels on your garage roof for charging.
*
The Tesla electric sports car, for example, sells solar panels as an option.
*
Charging from solar gives the EV owner the option of driving a 100% emission-free car, and also the ability to drive at almost zero cost per mile.
*
Even when charging from the electric grid, however, electric vehicles have much lower operating costs, and very low pollution output, even when electricity comes from dirty fuel.
*
The reason that EVs are both cheaper and cleaner has to do with efficiency. Gasoline is a very wasteful product - pollution is made, and energy wasted when gas is refined (a large amount of electricity is used.) More pollution is made, and more energy is wasted when gas is delivered to thousands of service stations (while EVs get their energy delivered by wire, at 95% efficiency.) And gas also makes pollution when you use it. And most of the energy of gas is wasted in your car, too, since internal combustion engines are less than 25% efficient (electric motors are 95% efficient.)
*
Greater efficiency = more miles on less fuel = less pollution per mile, and less cost per mile.

Answer 4

Both are powered by batteries. In solar powered batteries are charged by sunlight and in electric they are charged by electricity.
