My statement and questions were more general. I was curious about actually being able to build any 4 passenger (even 2 passenger) EV at 1000 pounds, not particularly a solar one. As David pointed out, to make a legally marketable EV it has to meet a lot of safety requirements and have at least some creature comforts, too. That provides, indeed, a challenge to build something so light.

Peri. You didn't read the article. Stella Lux used off the shelf specially encapsulated cells from Sunpower. Many of the components are off the shelf. Since the vehicle has a small pack it is much cheaper to build. Much quicker to charge and it only takes 10 hours to charge on solar. 95% of the time a car is sitting. With solar panels it can sit in the sun. The weight of the solar panels is negligible. Lots of great things happen when you get light. Lawrence Rhodes
