Do you really want your own electric car? I know I would love one, but it seems the large car companies are a little slow on delivering this sort of car, so lets just build our own.

Designed and built by high school students with the help of Art Haines the mastermind of this project.

The best part of this video is when he mentions that the students didn’t like the look of the car, so they made it look more like the Hummer, which gave him the added space to put on a front solar panel. Check out his website for your own DIY kit.

From the site

You can design and build a car that makes you happy when you drive and makes you smile when you look at it. We are offering plans and assemblies so can custom design and build your own car which can be driven on roads with a speed limit of less than 35 MPH (in states that have a low speed vehicle law). The car is recharged from the sun or can be plugged in. It has a top speed of 25 MPH (40 MPH for three wheeled version) and a range of 20 miles. It is street legal: windshield wiper, disc brakes, seat belts, turn signals and lights. It can also be use to get around campgrounds and gated communities.

Manufacturers Certificates of Origin are supplied for all major items so these can be registered as a Specially Constructed Vehicle in your state.
