Peri,
I am wondering if not having a differential but driving each wheel
independently with an electric motor does not create the issue that one would
expect. If you have a solid axle car, and turn a corner, one or both wheels
will scrub the road and the car will try to drive straight forward.

Lawrence,
Have you looked at thermoelectric generators? I just did a precursory
look and there are some products available but I'm not sure how they
compare in terms of cost and density with solar. However, cars are
great at trapping heat and that gives and alternative (or combination?)

Hi folks, does anyone on the list have or know where to find a motor and gear

Lawrence,
While it is possible to run off the panels alone, it will not attain 40MPH.
Even in full (straight above noontime summer sun) when the panels produce
1200W, the max speed from just the panels is 1200W/35Wh per km = 34km/h which
means 21 MPH max speed.
