CNBC's Industrial Revolutions takes a look at the electric car. Electric vehicle company Mahindra Reva -- part of the Mahindra Group, the Mumbai based global conglomerate -- launched the e2o last year. Fully electric and with a range of 100km when charged, it is described by the company as 'the future of mobility'.
At the Eindhoven University of Technology, Solar Team Eindhoven -- made up of students from the university -- have developed Stella, a four seater family car covered in 'high-yield silicum solar panels' and powered by the sun.
"With a solar car, you don't have to feed it anything, it's using the sun, which is a durable source in itself," Roy Cobbenhagen, Solar Team Eindhoven's technical director, told CNBC.com in a phone interview. "Solar panels are increasing in efficiency and dropping in cost very rapidly... imagine what could happen in ten years," he added.
