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 poi

There are two ways to look at this problem: From an engineering point of
view, and from a marketing/legal perspective.
From an engineering standpoint, there is no doubt that a safe
high-performance 4-passenger EV could be built that's under 1000 lbs.
Reducing the weight scales down the whole p
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%

Is it possible to build a 4 person car that weighs 1000 (or so) pounds?
With trunk or other storage? That would be a game change

I think there are many reasons to go for efficiency rather than brute strength
in electric vehicles. If your vehicle is heavy you have to have more batteries
which are expensive. If you go light and I mean under 1000 pounds you can use
less batteries. A 15kw battery in a sub 1000 pound car wi
