Solar car sets new record – 4100 km in 6 day costing $50

UNSW Students and the solar car they built

UNSW Students just set a new world record in a solar car they built.  They drove 4100 km in six days spending about $50.  To set the record, they had to keep the car’s energy consumption under 5.5kWh/100km.  Actual consumption was an average of 3.25kWh/100km.  This is about 17 times less than an average Australian car.   They travelled 600km a day and used about the same energy per day as that of a standard 24 kWh household.  The cost to drive from Perth to Sydney was $50.

You can also see it in certain rivers as a standing wave.
