Eco Factor: Electric vehicle concept uses solar/thermal collecting pipe system for charging.
Brainchild of industrial designer Vil Tsimenzin, the “CD2 Grasshopper” is one vehicle that any eco-conscious would love to own. Powered by an electric motor that is run by a rechargeable battery, this short distance vehicle reaches a speed of around 40 – 45 mph and offers nonstop run of 1.25 hrs on a single charge. The single seat, all weather vehicle can be charged with a solar/thermal collecting pipe system on its roof. In case the solar/thermal system doesn’t give enough juice, it can also be charged from regular 110v outlet. It is a perfect electric vehicle to enjoy both on and off road drives.
